I think if Dennis and Parker team up we're all doomed.

Parker isn't that knowledgeable. I bet he gained what knowledge he has by reading CRG stuff.

He doesn't care if he's wrong or isn't knowledgable. He gets coin from his Youtube and FB clicks, and the ignorant groupies believe everything he says.

Ridiculous. I'll walk right by a restored car and look at an original one. And I do this for a living. Restored cars are no different than a new one in the dealer lot.

The AT fittings and bracket are incorrect.

Does the radiator have the factory metal tag on it?

This is a friend's original out of his 67 RS. Looks like the same steel tab design as mine.

I'm guessing the tag is under this bracket that is welded to the radiator, done before my ownership.

Your radiator might not be original.

Tags are visible. https://www.camaros.org/coolingsystems.shtml

The AT fittings and bracket are incorrect.

Im only in these louvers for $100 so im going to send out to rechrome and restore myself. Ill never have anything close to a 100 point car but I like doing what I can with AL parts when I can.

If there is any pitting it will be costly to repair and plate. Until the plater sees them, an evaluation cannot be done.  Stripping the plating reveals the full extent of damage. If I buy reproduction parts, no questions asked return policies are verified if dissatiasfied. Avoid OER brand parts whenever possible.

Satin black, not gloss. Argent for silver. Lightly and carefully scuff with scothbrite if desired, clean as per standard practice. Although I've painted chrome parts without scuffing and adhesion was fine. Most pamper their car so wear is not a huge concern.  More louver info and photos here: https://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=6470.0;all

The first seat shown is a Firebird. Once you're familair with 'Birds and Camaros, the difference is obvious. Many people list them for sale incorrectly. They share similar frames so people post them as applying to both cars.

I believe it does not look original compared to my assembly line fender.

That pierce nut is not square like my assembly line fenders. Yours is domed and has staked corners which is typical of repro nuts. The NOS fenders I've had also had correct pierce nuts.

He did mine a number of years ago for my 69 and extremely pleased.
Great gentleman!
Hope he's still dong them.

Rowland is dead.

Can't read the receipt. What's the cost per pair?

Willie has done dozens of door and hood hinges for me of all makes and models. Excellent work. Prices are listed on his site but call for an estimate. Condition of parts, customer requirements and specifications will affect labor cost. He's very busy so don't demand them immediately. Two of the other shops doing hinge restorations are retired and dead.

I did an LOS 67 11A that was untouched before I got it. It had mismatched shafts like Jon posted in the link above.

On the cars I've done they were barely noticeable, unlike pronounced ones elsewhere. Use of the spot welder by the tech produced varying results. At least you have them. Many cars that roll into my shop did not, nor were the quarter window  braces/reinforcements present. Just installed all of them in yet another car. Butcher shops.

I've never seen those boot types on the 68's I've worked on or parted out.

Dash top has been replaced. None of the reproduction dash VIN holes are correct. I've had to graft in the original area when replacing the dash top.
