General Discussion / Re: NEW DISCUSSION GROUP (FORUM)? - Classes and Judging Guidelines

« on: April 06, 2017, 10:44:31 PM »

I am one of many who enjoy the challenge and take pride in taking a 50 year old "wreck " out of the storage and restoring it back to factory new standards and would welcome the vast knowledge of this group has to offer for my current and future restoration projects, I am also a member of the NCRS and have been involved in judging over the years and the mission of the NCRS is to restore a car that appears as delivered at the dealership, since there is very little original paint from 196? left it only makes sense to allow modern paint that is applied to look factory as well as certain repro parts and having judging guidelines sure helps restores from making costly mistakes. The CRG site has been a wealth of information that has saved me from buying the wrong or inferior products and would be exited to see some judging guidelines published for this type of restoration before I invest thousands of dollars in shipping a car to a judging event. I think it would also inspire more people to preserve the beauty that GM intended. P.S.  nothing against resto-mods ! not all Camaros are Z-28's, SS or COPO cars.

General Discussion / 68 console trim plate

« on: June 17, 2016, 06:28:37 PM »

I am just wrapping up a frame up restoration on my 1968 396 SS convertible and I am trying to figure out why the console with gauges four speed  trim plate is different from what the factory assembly shows, for example the one that came with my car has no mounting studs for shifter slider and has part#3921801 VS. 3921800 shown in A.I.M.,does anyone know of a design change late in 1968 with this plate? I want this car as accurate as possible since  I plan to have it judge at the national next year and have attached pics with my original plate and a repro plate that looks like the one in A.I.M.. Thanks, Curt
