I think you actually working on the car is not an issue. It all falls on the owner for what is done. They ultimately will be the one who will end up with the questions. And if someone comes along and tries to be negative towards you for doing work and committing what they themselves consider wrong then again, that's on them. Your friend in this matter is becoming a customer for which he wants you to perform a service for him/her. So just consider it as just another job, collect your fees and be done with it. I would never put a Windsor in a Camaro myself, but to each there own. Who knows, maybe someone later might come in and ask for a Cummins. In the end, I wouldn't have issues with whatever choice you make. Like said earlier; it's their car and you are the means to their END. No fowl, no harm in my thoughts.

General Discussion / Re: Posts asking about the database
« on: February 18, 2022, 10:03:38 PM »
Totally agree that some of the info in the database should be kept hidden by a few safe-keepers. Helps keep the flippers and fraudulent thieves from learning some of the things to better fake a car, in my opinion. What I don't know won't kill me and I will enjoy my Camaro none the less. That is what we all need to understand. They are cars, not family. If I considered my car family I wouldn't abuse it from time to time, but once in a while it needs put through it's paces. Actually, in my opinion, the folks who need to worry about a lot of the things pertaining to the database are the ones who actually have or are in the process of owning or purchasing a true numbers car. Once the factory numbers are gone, like me, you just have a Camaro to do with as you please and enjoy. Nothing wrong with asking how to try and put one back as close to factory specs as possible, but in the end you just end up with a somewhat day 2 or 3 factory clone. Not trying to pi$$ anyone off and opinions are like  well,you know what. I too have seen folks wear out the look at this car they pulled up on the internet for opinions and after a while I no longer look at their links because it becomes apparent that they have no clue as to what they want and proves that they don't try to get info/details themselves to better understand what their actually looking for/at. I agree with Bryons opinion and yes, I have no stake in the matter and I know it.

1967 - Orphans / Re: VIN Registry - Info on VIN?

I'd bet that if there was a current owner to your dads 67, that they would much rather have the original paperwork and you keep the copies. Not trying to be a smarta$$ or wiseguy.

Share photos and get opinions.  Don’t make the mistake of buying a car and it turning out to be not what you hoped..

I'm not familiar with the 67-68 book. Can you elaborate a bit? Thanks.

Just click on the AMAZON link Ed posted and it takes you right to it.

I agree keeping it BB. I have seen very few in my lifetime and they stick out (in a good way) when parked next to the usual colors everybody has or switches too. Maybe add white vinyl stripes to make it pop even more that can be easily removed if so desired at a later date. You state that it has a dark brown vinyl roof. If it is in good shape I would keep that as well. Might be pretty hard finding that color if it ever needed replaced. And that vinyl roof would make it a much lower number as far as original options than the other BB cars without it. Just food for thought.

With the amount of counterfeiters today and the technologies at their hand anything can be pretty much be recreated very accurately including signatures. Besides, it probably doesn't have the ford fan sticker to prove authenticity.

That, and probably sniggered like "Precious Pup" from the cartoons back in the early 60's while doing it. I would rather have no tag as to having that pregnant looking thing.

William, it's really nice having someone like you and a few others spotting, tracking and keeping tabs on a lot of these terrible, lying, deceitful offenders and their crap as you all do. It is very much appreciated. I'm sure you guys put in quite a bit of time on it and some folks don't realize it. Thank you all.

My brother in law had a slightly bent axle do that several years ago, but I would check the driveshaft first.
