The power windows code isnt what makes me think it's a fake tag.  And when I say fake I mean reproduction.  But I'm no expert.

Mild Modifications / Re: Seat Belt Differences 68-9

Pretty sure 68 & 9 belts will interchange..  The 7s are the odd balls with the change of the anchors.  Of course the standard vs deluxe are different as well.  Also early 8's didnt have shoulder belts vs later 8s & 9s did.

The car has a couple things that make it look like it might be a big block car but Im not sold on it..  Tag has nothing that says its anything being an early tag...  Just buy the engine and give it to me.  Ill do something with it..

Tag looks fake, firewall looks to have only had standard brakes and not power..  Also if you look at the speedo hole & clip areas they have a different look similar to the area around the tag..  I would bet the tag doesnt line up with the vin..  I smell a rat and I dont mean a big block...

Restoration / Re: Kick panel sealant - where and how much?

« on: December 29, 2015, 04:52:24 PM »

Sorry..  I didn't read the question correctly.  As for why sealer was used; try putting the kick panels in without it and wash the car or get caught in the rain..  When I installed mine in the 67 I put about a 1" tall dam around on the kick panel to allow it flatten out evenly and haven't had any issues.  Also use a heat gun to soften up the kick panel lip so it'll pop into place easier.
