Originality / Odd bulkhead cutout, original ?
« on: December 01, 2021, 11:21:46 PM »
Hi guys,
our Jan. 67 convertible has a a cutout on the bullhead (that is under the cowl top vent, near the hidden VIN)
it extends the outboard passenger side hole to the firewall. its about 2.5" wide and has mounting holes. it sits above the A/C box.
i have never noticed this on any other car. Is there something I'm missing or just some kind of old add-on.
All related thoughts welcome.

 Thank's Again,
     VT

Hi guys,
FYI, a quality truck stop/shop will be able to install these rivets as that is a common service item to them.

Rocker panel blacked out was part of the RS option in '68 (67 RS cars used chrome molding)
 Tail panel black out indicated 396 engine.

  Keep safe,

Luttys Chevy Warehouse carries cowl tag rivets. I can not attest to the correctness and have not used them.
 What are the correct dies/stamps to be used when installing these rivets ?

General Discussion / Re: Pony Car/Musclecar market going away?
« on: November 01, 2019, 12:29:22 AM »
 Yes, it is. and I am good with that. I was/am not not into cars for profit, so maybe affordability will return.
Times change, as the small block wiped out the flathead the LS is wiping out the small block. that's just the way it is.
 I'm not ever going to replace original motors but I see a LS (Orange with factory valve covers and air cleaner with a two plane manifold and a F.I. Tech fuel injection)
 in my engine bay in the future. The car now has a 72 truck block anyway, wrong is wrong.

       My two cents

General Discussion / Re: Why Camaro production was extended in 1969.
« on: October 20, 2019, 07:01:19 PM »
Hi guys,
  So the August trim tagged Camaros (like 08E) were counted as September built cars?
    Not completed, or easier to count perhaps?

08E LA built with 749 interior and a smooth black ash tray.
I do not recall seen a original textured tray in a 68.

Hmmm,
 Seems the 1969 Ford copied the 1967 Chevrolet.....
