Originality / Re: Which windows crank kit should I buy ?

The one with clear knobs, have used them from HBC, not bad and correct profile, deep offset goes in back.
 To my knowledge 69's did not use colored knobs.

Here's a thread on SYC on a COPO build. IMHO they perfectly re-created the floor pan finish.

Thanks for the props William, That is one of my resto's. Here is another. That may help both Norwood.

I must think a little more of the car than the other guys.I bought the car. I think It’s way better than the rumors. 👍

One of the 'other guys' that posted comments, camaromb, is one of the most knowledgeable people in the hobby. I have been involved with '69s for nearly 43 years and have known him nearly as long. We regularly talk '69s; he recently acquired two survivor '69 Camaro SS primarily to learn more about the cars.



I hope disregarding his comments about the car works out for you.

Mark "Camarcmb" and I have become friends over the years, because of Camaro's. He is one of a few that are very deep in knowledge off what is out there.

Just hook up a hose with the check valve installed and make sure the rubber cup seal is in place along with the rod that is installed in the front. With vacuum applied push in the rear rod in small steps . You input will match the output travel.

I have rebuilt a bunch of boosters and  always test them with a Air conditioning vacuum pump I used to pull a vacuum on the system.

At least my spoiler-less deck is finally correct with my rear antenna. No one likes it without the spoiler except me...

Not true, I love it. Spoilers are way overused

1967 or 68 interior

And no Camaro script on fenders, no bow tie in the grill.

I lost 5 points in Legends Judging in 2014 because I didn't have the two 3853846 bolts holding on my horns in my 05A 69 Z. I wonder if there is an appeal process.
Mike 

I think they have had that wrong for a long time, I am  dummy and  I could figure that out from the A I M removal revision date of 10/68. But keep in mind there are early 69's that have the bright zinc toothed bolts.  And original horns on those cars would have the tooth marks from those bolts.
