Since he's going through vintage certification, he'll be giving it a very gentle bath underneath just to get dust & dirt off. Never undercoated. I will see if I can get a picture before then...Joe

Any 1969 4 speed COPO or 4 speed L78 driveshafts out there that show strip color?

If you don't get an answer before MCACN, there will be a L78 M22 survivor car there...Joe

I used a dial measure like for a pinion. Somebody else ask about that a while back. Those are my original pipes in that picture...Joe

I just spoke to Elliot Knoch & he told me to put them out in the sun so they would re-form themself when I installed them. It's a little hot here so I'm checking them once in a while to make sure they don't go up in flames
I'll report back later...Joe

Restoration / 1969 deluxe door panel problems

« on: July 09, 2021, 03:00:25 PM »

I posted this question on the Yenko site but haven't got any responce. I know not everybody goes there...so. Please take a look. Thank you, Joe


I didn't buy reproduction door panels for the Camaro because I hear they don't fit real good. People have had to use heat guns to change the angle of the top of the door panel. That being said, I sent my originals to Al Knoch to be redone fiquring they came off this car, they should fit....right? Wrong. The problem is the top just like the ABS type except these are the fibre board. Has anybody else had this problem after having them redone? Any help please?

It's not my car. I'm in Tucson & he's near Flint. The car is in storage until they can find another home. Sorry. I thought my posting might be a little helpful although I was thinking you wanted to see farther....Joe
