I'd almost forgotten this one.
So, do you think all Nor and Los Camaros followed the same pattern, early and late?

Not sure of LOS cars but NOR cars seem to go that way. Our 01B 68 with console is just like Paul's and others, grained center panel with black ashtray. Oldie comes alive again!

You could ask at Team Camaro or Team Nova. Subframes are not hard to find; and complete for less than their bare product.

Dave, I agree with Scott! Try locating a donor sub-frame as there have been so many modified Camaro's its usually not too hard to locate/purchase.

Thanks Mike for the pics as that is the first repro molded pad I've seen. Have to admit I was hoping it would be a little closer but it is still far better than the other plain non-molded pads.
Hey, liked your black socked feet as well..... :)

I have the "K" stamping but mine has been painted
My 9800 mile 69 and my 1100 mile 70 both have traces of black paint.
Obviously most have deteriorated to a degree, however just about all the orig cars I have certified have some traces of black paint.
thanks everyone for the input!

I would have bet money that others members would have commented by now especially when this is not a very well known fact one way or another. If you see this JohnZ what do you have on your Z and know about what they did back then.
Others please?

Good question but have not heard of anyone having points deducted in this area. Several CRG members have had their cars judged at Legends, etc. so hopefully some of them will respond.

Thanks Daniel and Mike! Anyone else?

Was looking at old car pics for sale at Carlisle last week and ran across this old picture and what surprised me was the 68 Corvette. You can see it was a parade prior to a Nascar race of some kind. Was this a race Saturday before the Indy 500? Just wondering if the Corvette was some type of pre-production show car or? Would seem odd to have all those 69 pace cars together a year later???? Anyone know? Gotta love those ol' pictures.  ;D

Originality / Original Battery Hold Down Clamp
« on: May 04, 2012, 01:29:38 AM »
Many of our cars over the years have had the battery hold down clamp replaced and neither of our Camaro's had originals but our 67 Corvette did and it had been dipped in black paint so I assumed it was factory. Last week at Carlilse I asked a NCRS C2 judge (judges primarily late model C2's) I know if in fact Corvette battery hold down clamps were black and he told me yes. Additionally, I have looked at two 69 survivors and both those clamps had black paint or remnants of black paint. I also have two additional original clamps and both of them have black paint or remnants of. Restored cars I have looked seem to normally have a phosphate battery clamp which they were according to research but I'm thinking they were additionally painted black. Here are my three examples. Sorry, do not have pics of the 69 survivor clamps. Notice the black paint remnants and 'K' stamping on two pieces. So how about it, were those battery hold down clamps black from the factory on our Camaro's? So check your cars and please let me know if you have an orig. clamp and if it seemed to be painted black.

"Soak it in Evap o rust then soak it in Boe Shield. It will clean up nice."

What stores sell these products? I have a gas cap and radiator cap that could use a cleaning

Daniel is correct! I purchase ours at our local harbor freight and use a 20% coupon. PepBoys used to sell it as well but not sure if they still do.

« on: May 02, 2012, 11:36:52 AM »
Paul, in our build thread I posted pics of our repro Kustom headers before I had them coated flat black. Also on that thread page is a pic of some headers that were being sold with a 68Z on ebay for a long time and they were supposedly checked by Jerry. Those seem pointed as well. http://www.camaros.net/forums/showthread.php?t=182584&page=18

I had placed this info in our Team Camaro build thread but thought it might be useful here as well.
Within the next few days the final assembly of our MO engine with start and I was getting hardware, etc. ready to go. Noticed something on the head bolts. OK, there are three different length bolts but did not remember so many different suppliers. All of the long bolts had a 'TR' symbol in the middle of the bolt head but the middle length bolts all had an 'A'. The short bolt that uses and exposes 8 in each cylinder head had a mix of 8 bolts with a 'CP', 5 with a funny looking 'O', and 3 with 'M'.
