Decoding/Numbers / What does an H- code mean??????

« on: February 24, 2007, 02:33:29 PM »

On two different ebay cars i have seen H codes in the area that the X code is normally on the tag???
One was H599 ( i think ) and one on ebay now that has H569? It is a norwood car with 01c build date..

Originality / VIN database ?

« on: February 04, 2007, 03:46:29 PM »

I've recently seen references to a database for the camaros.. is this available on this site or does someone keep a list somewhere?
I bought a 69 pace car in 1974 (sold it 1975  ...ugh)and wonder if it happens to be listed.. also have a x44 that appears to be quite original and if youre interested i could add it to your list...
thanks,

Restoration / opinions needed!!!!

« on: January 24, 2007, 12:24:57 AM »

Have my x44 diassembled(mostly).. needs all 4 floor corners, driver toe board and hump repair( cut for floor shifter)also both rear quarters and outers wells(but only rusted around the wheel openings).. tail pan rusted and roof had something fall on it and poorly repaired... front frame is still connected and all 4 bolts have come loose..  Going to be a driver..
I read that i should have the front frame connected and rear suspension in place to replace the rear quarters so the weight distibution will be the same after its complete. also is it better to just replace the floor with a one piece or do each seperate.should i do the floor first or the quarters? it would also seem better to replace the roof last but not sure...? all opinions appreciated..!!!

General Discussion / Sheet Metal ?s

« on: June 17, 2006, 01:47:00 AM »

Have 69 x44. Needs both rear quarters, roof, tail panel... I understand the foriegn sheet metal does not always fit well... but are US makers all the same? Going to Carlisle PA next week and would like to know what to look for.
Also is there a manual of some kind that shows or explains body alignment for the gen 1 cars?
Are there any body parts not available? Example: I have never seen the hump over the rear axle or the inside panel of the rear window...or the "Y" shaped panels that run from the floor to the package tray... new to all this and love this site...
hope some of you can help... thanks Wally
