Restoration / vinyl top, rust spotter guide?

« on: December 03, 2013, 04:08:05 PM »

Ill be traveling to look at a 69 camaro on Dec 4th,    its the usual bla bla bla,  perfect car that grandmother owned.   Anyway the guy said its rust free.  In the low quality photos he sent it looks to be.   The trunk is clean as well.   What has me worried is it is vinyl top car..   The top is ripped in the photos and will have to come off.  This isnt a big deal as i dont like the top anyway. 

My question is,  have any of you figured out how to spot rust under these tops.   Im assuming that if there is bubble in the top go with the idea of rust,  or if the top is spongy in places..    Im also guessing that one should check the rear pannel,  below the rear window and side to see if there is anything

Any suggestions, ideas, how to's would be awesome

Thanks

General Discussion / 68 copo with hideaway head lights?

First post! and very nice web page.

I was at the local cruise in and them man was telling everyone his car was an original copo 427ci car.  It was beautiful,  Black with the black dog dish wheels,  interior looked correct from what ive seen in the past. I’m not car expert.. anyway his car had hide away head lights like my 68 RS/SS car.   I’ve just never seen a copo with this grill in it, actually now that i think about im not sure I’ve seen a copo 68 model but im assuming they made them.   ever car ive seen has the two round head lights. 

So those of you in the know did they ever make that?
