They are pretty much "unseeable" once installed. I would think it would be relatively easy to fab up something functional after the grille was removed.

What would really be nice is for someone to stamp out some of the BB lower shields!!!   ????!!!  (hoping!!!)

I would like to know more about the lower shield bor BB cars mentioned by jt4406. Were these similar to the ones used on Firebirds? Does anyone have any pictures? I can't find any reference or pictures in my 1968 AIM. Kevin W mentioned above that these were short lived - do you have any additional information or details about them? I have 1968 L34 with factory A/C. I have an original right side A/C baffle for 68 but the left was missing when I got the car ( left fender had been wrecked at some point and I assume the baffle was left off when repaired). I have been looking for some 1968 A/C baffles for several years now without any luck. Some used Camaro part vendors will insist that the fender baffles for 68's and 69's are the same, but of course they are wrong. If anybody has any please contact me. And again I would like to know more about the underside A/C baffle.

Thanks,
Allen

The lower shield (P/N 3949856) was only used in 1969, and only on big block cars. More info HERE.

Thanks Ed, your always very helpful to everyone on this forum. Even though these lower baffles/covers were not used before 1969, I found where Camaro Central is producing a metal lower filler panel for 1967 and 1968 Camaros. Do you know where I can get a set of the regular A/C fender baffles for 1968 or just a left side - P/N 3937129 (left)?

No sorry. As far as I know, no one is repopping these so you'll have to find used.
