Originality / Re: trunk lid rear emblem with factory D80 spoiler
« on: August 26, 2017, 06:53:44 AM »
Mine as no emblem at all. I'll have a look tomorrow to see if the 4 holes are there under the spoiler. So correct me if I'm wrong, but the dealer was not moving the emblem at all, just deleting it, right ?

Originality / Exhaust line for a small block: which one to buy ?
« on: August 26, 2017, 03:17:29 AM »
I'm looking to replace the complete exhaust line from the manifolds to the tail pipes. My main objective is to stay the closest as possible from the factory look. I don't mind much about the sound....My car is an LM1 350, RS 1969 with dual exhaust

Which one would be the best to buy ? Aluminized, stainless ? 2" or 2.5" ?

I've found those one:

Thanks to all !

Originality / trunk lid rear emblem with factory D80 spoiler
« on: August 26, 2017, 02:16:59 AM »
I noticed and realized today, that my 69 RS with rear spoiler dont have the "Camaro by Chevrolet" emblem, on the trunk. If D80 was factory installed and ordered, was the emblem just deleted or was it relocated ? Is it the exact same emblem ? Any pictures and advises are welcome please !

thanks hgger69, I really love the look!

For the mudflap, they are quite cheap even in NOS (about 150$ US per pair), and they fit just perfect and protect exactly what need to be protected.

Little upgrade done today on the wheels ! Even if the color match is not 100% perfect, I'm quite satisfy with the fine result. D96 striping should be done around mid-september.

Work is in progress: Rims are at the paint shop for powder coat (black inside, yellow outside), and wide tread tires are ordered!

And it's just too bad they don't make the Goodyears Wide Tread GT in F70-14 size....they just reproduce them in 15's...for the Z. I don't want polyglas, so I'd go for the wide tread with F70-14 white letters raised like this one:

And keep us posted about this Camaro for sale...it seems to be original paint on her...with a very rare stripes/combo option.

Another picture I've found of a Camaro with 2 different sets of stripes, is this one with D96 and hockey stick stripes, together. But it's an advertisement from GM...maybe they just want to show few different options on the same car/picture ?

Unfortunately chrome parts gave me just about 1 Grand....I could have them cleaned up, and sold separately, for more money but had no time to do so.

For the flaps, no, there's not much dirt on our roads here, except spring time where a lot of sand remains on the asphalt. I simply realized that some of the dirt was quickly sticking on the rear fender so I decide to go OEM way...

For the history of the car and the wheels, I do have the names of the five previous owners. I also have the original Protecto Plate, but nothing specific about the wheel. The car probably had the most common setup, white line tire  and dog dish, but I decided to explore different existing possibility. I have found a woman, with the same name of the first owner, living in the same area as the car was sold back in 1968, but I'm not willing to call her. She's probably in the late 70's....and so many people can have the same name in the US...

BTW, according to POP, the only option the car had was power steering. No mention about A/C...but my mechanics said that it couldn't have been added at the dealer since it is installed just like the factory does...through the firewalls. Error on the POP ? Possibly...I also kept the power brake added by a previous owner, just changed that crappy chromed brake booster loll...but still on drum brakes all around.

Together with the engine compartment rebuilt, my mechanics installed RPO U17, together with the clock and tach. The repro tach burned out twice...grrr, still have to find the reason why...and install a third one !

@BULLITT65, so far to make a long story short, I imported the car from Tennessee 2 years ago. Car is all matching numbers, LM-1 350/4 barrels, TH350, RS.

Here's how was the car when it arrived here, in Quebec City:



Engine:


I had the engine completely rebuilt to original state, except for the ignition which is now electronic.



Since this picture, I had the radiator core seal installed on top, and the cooling decal switch to the top fan assy. I should take a newer picture.

I have P01 original hubcap (NOS) installed, together with Wide Oval redline repro tires. Also 4 NOS Mudflap installed last spring. I have a second set of original wheels FC coded 14x6, that I'll have paint in yellow very soon, and already bought a set of NOS Dogdish. I will have to buy a set of F70-14 Goodyears Wide Tread to put on, to make a second set of original tires.








Anyway that's. where I am in my project....

William, I already have the Z28 stripes on my car, it was done by the previous owner. I want the car to look as much as possible original, like it was from the factory. For the next paint job probably next year, I'll have:

Flat hood back and trunk lid without spoiler installed, DX1 stripes painted up front, and the front lip removed as well. As an early production car (9C), it could not have the cowl induction hood, and the rear spoiler (and front lip). And it's an RS, so I'm trying to have stripes that this car could really  have from the factory. There's too much SS around with the hockey stick stripes....so DX1 is different.

Thanks williams for the very useful infos. Not so many people have restored their RS with the D96......

I have already found the painter who will do it.
