Lovely car!    :)
 I have 2 questions though:
1 - Is the SS horn cap an aftermarket? I thought there were no 'SS' only caps for 67 BB cars. Both my 67 L35's have the standard Camaro cap (w/standard interior).
2- Did you add the lift brackets? I still can't get a clear answer if BB Camaro's had lift brackets in '67 (I know small blocks didn't use them yet) though I know in '68 it was more common.

Are you using any zinc oil additives?

All the chrome stuff on the steering wheel is aftermarket, just wanted to dress it up a little. Not sure about your question on the SS horn cap. I'll check that out.
I added the lift brackets when i built the car in 1995, not sure about that one either. Good questions, you've given me something to research. Thanks.
According to the cowl tag its not suppose to have the pin stripe down the side, drip rail moldings or wheel well moldings but i liked that stuff so i put them on it.

 Interesting...I wasn't aware there was a code on the cowl tag for pin striping  ??? . My 67 LOS car (4B) has the original paint and striping but I don't remember seeing any code for it. Unless maybe it's part of another option package?

Question guys. Notice in the engine comp. picture i don't have the middle belt of the three groove set up. Its the one that goes from the w. pump to the crank pulley. I see it in the UPC book but just a picture. Anyone know where i can get one of those belts or have a part# for me?

Richard, the original part number was 3837810 and was also used on the mid to late 60's 427 Corvettes.

And Mike, no it should not have the SS horn cap. More info HERE.

No pin striping indicator on the Trim Tag either. It was included in the Z22 Rally Sport option, but you couldn't get it separately in 67.

Hi Ed,

  The hyperlink to the steering wheel article is what I had read months ago. It sure puts to rest some doubts I have had about mine and also people telling me that I should have the SS cap when in fact I had the standard cap for the 30+ years I have owned both cars. The pin striping rolled into the RS package makes sense now (I wasn't aware of that fact). This is what I have on my cars.

Thanks,
Mike

The pinstripe could be had with either the Z22 rally sport option (3L code) or Z21 style trim option (3K code). Since you chose to add the chrome wheel well trim and roof drip moulding, the pinstripe complements those pieces to complete the appearance of the Z21 option.

Very nice looking car. Your shift boot appears to be the one for console equipped cars rather than no console. It used to be kind of hard to find the right boot but they are reproducing it these days.

Good eye on that shifter boot Jon. I wondered when i posted that shot if someone would catch that boot. I've since changed to the correct boot which came on the car when it bought it in 95. Back then i was told it was wrong so i buy the console boot thinking it was correct and all along my old one was right. My boot might be the original to the car i don't know. It does not have any #'s or markings on it. Did they repo them back in the 90's?
I don't mind at all you guys pointing out things about the ole hot rod. I like the factory stuff and enjoy learning about it. Now someone say something about the kick panels being the wrong color (LOL). Dummy me thought they were wrong when i got the car and dyed them light blue. I looked at an original 67 light blue int. car a while back and learned they are dark blue,which mine was. How can i remove that dye from the plastic without damaging them?

I do not think I would try to remove the light dye...could do more damage....maybe dye them back to a dark blue.......

JM, do you have an opinion on who makes the best repro of that shift boot?  I asked many times before and no one ever really had a definative answer.

I have heard that Easy-Off oven spray works at removing paint from plastic but have never tried it personally and have not talked directly with someone who has. There are probably some websites that discuss how to do something like that. As for the repro shift boots, I have seen an advertisement that Soff-Seal is now doing them but I know that others have repro'd them before. I just don't have knowledge of who they were. I think this is one of those cases where you need to check them out at a swap meet vendor and see in person if their's looks any good or not.

I have used DOT 3 fluid (Brake) to remove Factory (Athearn) paint from plastic HO Scale Model Railroad Locomotives with minimal damage to the fine detail on the plastic. I NEVER thought about how that could translate to Automotive restorations.

as a side note, I have a buddie with a Y2 1967 4K that has been off the road since It put me in the hospital (Mary Bridge Burn Center - Tacoma wash in 85') His car is like a time capsule stuck in the 80's. anyway I ramble.
Try a small sample area with the DOT3, anyone else tried this?

As you can see in interior shot my kick panels are the wrong color. Dummy me thought they were were suppose to be light blue when really dark blue is correct. I sprayed then with a dye. I want to get that dye off of them but don't know what to use to remove it. I certainly don't want to damage the plastic. Anyone know what will work to remove the dye?

Sorry i'm repeating myself. not real good with computers!!! I'll try some of that stuff to remove the dye and get back to you guys.
I would really like to see that time capusal 4K you are talking about. Think that might be possible
Thanks,
Richard
