General Discussion / Working on a Deluxe interior

« on: January 19, 2019, 04:53:26 PM »

 Hi everyone, Has anyone worked on installing a new deluxe interior ? My problem is installing the moldings on the door panels. You have put holes in order to install the moldings. You know if you go near them with a drill bit it will catch the carpet and you'll have a mess on your hands. I was thinking about heating up a awl and pushing it threw. Any suggestions would greatly appreciated. Thank you Emo

General Discussion / How to tell GM fenders from aftermarket

« on: January 03, 2019, 05:15:24 AM »

Hi everyone,I just started taking apart a 69 Z only to find out I believe are aftermarket fenders,inner panels and hood. The owner wants to do it right so I am hunting for NOS. I am no expert on body panels but I can remember something about marks on the fenders or something. What would be reasonable for a set of fenders with extensions or a ZL1 hood ? I found 1 set of fenders for 6k ! I almost fell out of my chair. As always thank you for all your help. If anyone knows who may have or can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Thank you Emo

General Discussion / What are the right size size rims and tires for this Camaro

« on: June 11, 2018, 06:22:44 PM »

I have a 1968 Camaro SS 396/375 that I bought in 1975 but I have never had the stock wheels and tires on the car.It has power disc brakes, the 4 piston cal on the front. I bought it from the orig owner and he asked me if I wanted the original wheels and tires and I said no. What a idiot! Hey I was 19 and my first car but at least I did take the the original SS hood because he had a glass L88 hood on the car. I know there is a round tag on the inside of the glove box door but the car is in storage and hard to get too. The car is a Feb 4 week date .

 I am also doing a 1969 Z-28 X77 car which needs rims and tires too so what are the sizes for that car too.  Thank you everyone for all the help and infor

General Discussion / Finally after a very very long time finished my 1967 302 MO motor

« on: April 23, 2018, 09:51:41 PM »

My father acquired this motor from the original buyer in late 69 or early 70 from what I can remember. I believe the car was made into a race car like so many Camaros did. I know the original owner died in Vietnam and my father got the engine from the father. The car probably ended up in a crusher which would break many hearts.

Decoding/Numbers / Need help decoding this cowl tag

« on: March 30, 2018, 09:02:32 PM »

Hi, I am thinking this car is a z-28 and I know after doing so much reading LOS tag can be very frustrating to decode. Also the W 3L . The 3 is a mystery to me. This car has a 12 bolt and it was a 4 speed muncie car according to the speedo cable being on the right side of the master cylinder. The car has multi leafs which I thought they never put in any 67 car . I think this car being a mid year car makes it all that much harder. Thanks everyone.
