Hey all, I checked and the holes are there under the bumper that would align with having front bumper guards. I am going to add them in the off-season.

General question, but if you go back to a flat hood for a 69', you need to change the air cleaner as well, correct?

Looking for any information out there that gives guidance, photos on what factory markings would be on the car for a Norwood X33 March built car. Unfortunately I do not have the broadcast sheet...

Thank you! That helps clear it up.

KevinW.... lol... good point!  I guess sales guys at car dealers have not really changed over the years.  That's like convincing someone in AZ to buy "rust protection"..... 

Was that the factory installed alternator for Z28's in 1969? The date of Feb 69, aligns pretty well with the build date of March 69...  at a minimum, a period correct part....

Hey all, does anyone have any photos of what decals are supposed to go on the driver and passenger door jams for a 69 Camaro and the correct placement?

Tire Pressure decal?
Blue "GM" decal go on there?
Blue door jam vehicle ID?
Dealer Service door jam tag?

Thank you, very helpful!

I got some pictures when I bought the car of several stamp photos that were taken throughout restoration, etc. I honestly am not sure what this is or what the stamp means.  Any ideas? Looks like there is a partial VIN in there, but I can't tell

Hi boomer632,

Yes, all the emblem pins are present.

169INDY - if that's an option and I can get my hand behind there to put the fender fasteners back on, I would rather do that then drill out the fender holes....

Yes, you are correct, rear bumper guards were standard Z28 option which is why I added those back on first. I thought about taking the spoilers off, but that would require body work on the rear deck lid and I actually like it with the spoilers.  I just keep going back and forth on the front bumper guards.... something I will ponder in the off-season.

Hey all, hopefully I am posting this in the correct section, if not apologies. So I have information on the first two owners of my car.  The 2nd owner, I actually have a picture and it tells a story.  When it originally came from the factory it had the flat hood, front and rear bumper guards and did not have the D80 spoiler options.  At some point in the car's history it has been restored pretty close to factory (again, I am always finding out more about whether something is a correct period replacement, etc).

What's interesting is that when it was restored, the 302 Cowl hood was added as were the front and rear spoilers and both front and rear bumper guards removed.  I know the rear spoiler is not factory because the paint would have stopped at the edge of the trunk and not continued as a non spoiler car would have.

I have put rear bumper guards back on the car and debating adding the front bumper guards to get it closer to how it would have looked from the factory.  I realize there are two schools of thought on this and ultimately, it's my decision, but just curious what other Camaro enthusiast's think.  The second owner unfortunately passed away last December, but through his obituary I was able to track down his family and I sent them this picture of their Dad with his car. Felt that's where it belonged.

Hi, this is the one I recently bought for my 69 Z28... My car is also a March built car (03B)

Hey all, so my passenger side "Camaro" fender emblem came loose and eventually came off (I think the fasteners behind the fender came off).  I would like to re-attach it with barrel nuts to avoid removing the fender.  I bought the correct size barrel nut for a 1/8" emblem pin, but they do not fit in the hole on the fender. Doing some more reading, due to the paint build up by the hole, the size of the hole is smaller.  One of the methods suggested on line was to take a 5/32 bit and by hand and gently ream out the hole enough so the barrel nut will fit.  I taped off the area and carefully gave that a try, but the barrel nuts still will not easily go in and I don't want to force them for fear of chipping the paint.  Any other suggestions on how to attack this?

Hey everyone, I am a "newbie" both with CRG and with owning a Z28 and I just wanted to reach out and thank everyone that has been so helpful with my questions.  I have a lot to learn and having a forum to talk to Camaro experts is very helpful and insightful.

Thanks, Sean
