General Discussion / Orange stripe on RS vacuum hose

« on: June 12, 2023, 08:38:41 PM »

30 years later and nobody makes the orange striped hose from the headlight switch to the relay. Inline Tube sells color striped hoses, but not orange. I called tech support…”yes we stripe the hoses, no we won’t  make an orange one.”
As I understand, the Legends cars now require the orange stripe. 🧐🧐🤔🤔🤔

General Discussion / Run stamped code on door skin

« on: June 07, 2023, 02:00:45 PM »

Is there one? I have a NOS and am selling it. It's at a friends house and I'm nowhere close. If so, where would it be? I found nothing in the "search" box that helped.
Thank you in advance.

Originality / 68 RS Actuator answers needed

« on: May 28, 2023, 11:25:24 PM »

A little clarity please. The front piece is single barbed and the rear is a 90 degree bend. These came off in 1993 after the accident. From my 68, but the vacuum ports are obviously different from the OER pieces.

I’m curious about the branding on this. Don’t recall seeing it elsewhere, but hey….we all learn.

General Discussion / Lee’s Car

Killing time at the airport after my big score for parts at Carlisle…
FYI…TSA doesn’t care about your used correct numbered alternator in your carry on bag…nor horns, 68 headrests, and other parts. Found a solid 68 dash with deluxe trim. I had to buy 2 guitar boxes from FedEx and checked at the curb. If you have never been,  I highly recommend you go at least 1 time.

Anyway, so my 83 year old friend trusts me enough to move his car out of the garage to document it. We’ve known each other for 32 years, so that’s nice he does. I spent 5 hours because last time I only had film. Now after joining CRG and .Net, I have listened and learned.

It’s a maintained and unrestored original. Still original top to bottom. Documented Shipper copy, 30 options, because when you’re father in law is the General Superintendent of Manufacturing for Chevrolet in the 60s and has some pill……A few pictures now, story later.

General Discussion / Thank to those who put this site together!

« on: April 07, 2023, 06:47:35 PM »

On Team C a guy bought a 6 cylinder cinvertible.....manual top, 3 on the floor, red deluxe that had been sitting for 25+ years. We've be chatting and he sent me pictures of the title still in the old owners name/Trim Tag /VIN. So I go to the handy dandy chart, and lo and behold the VIN is is nowhere close to match up to the TT.
01A TT with an May build VIN. You know the rest....look for the hidden Vinson, verify everything,  and depending.on the state....gotta get it right before anything else.

General Discussion / 68 NOS Fender stamping numbers

« on: March 31, 2023, 02:54:39 AM »

I have 2 friends (and they’ll admit to it) that are building 68s. They have NOS fenders with stickers and 1 set was still in the GM boxes. Only the passenger side has the run number stamping. I bought my fenders in 1988 and both fenders have run numbers. Any information about this is helpful and appreciated.

Mod-if this needs to be moved, feel free to.

Mods, if this needs to be moved to the proper place, do it.

Laying on the ground and taking a few pictures, saw this white swatch on steering link.
