Fender markings
 

this is marked on my lower fender extension on a 69 Camaro what does it mean

Rallye Green?

that's what I thought the only problem is this is a original paint cortez silver car

Is it a Norwood car?

If so, I would suggest you contact Phil Boris (sp???) on this site. "70 copo". He has some contacts with some of the Norwood employees who are still around. One of them might remember something like this.

I am almost certain I have seen similar markings on the inner side of fender extensions, but they were marked "copo". I am guessing it was a heads up to someone down the line that would see the car from the underside. Can't imagine what RG stood for. I have seen color call outs in crayon or grease pencil on firewalls (usually UNDER the black out), but not on fender extensions.

Lynn,

We all gravitate to the obvious. It looks to the eye at first as a proper "RG"

In reality once that lower valance section was assembled it became destined for placement on its unit, and as some of you know from reading the book I wrote on Norwood - the units were assembled in build sequence because after computer lock was achieved that is how all the feeder line conveyors matched all the component parts for a specific car and marking these parts was a non standardized method used by the workers to minimize rework in AGR later.

Now we are not seeing a neat and proper RG, but a very fast and sloppy 126

126=unit build order 126 for the day which means this car was built for a match up with the valance over on the chassis side just past body drop on first shift (days) very likely between 9-and 9:30 AM.

it is a norwood car I have seen some talk about seeing the same letters on rally sport option cars it is a 4 week of sept of 68 build

Or it could be the fender piercing code on the Body Broadcast Copy.

Have any Build sheets where RG is used to designate the fender piercing?

I am curious as to why you think RG would designate fender piercing on a completely separate sub assembly. Granted all components did end up for final "dog house" assembly on the second floor above body drop.

For the same reason COPOs have 427 written there-no emblem.

Not certain of what piercing entailed. If it is just fender script and engine ID there would be 12 codes. Z/28 may have been done differently as they have the same code [YA] as COPOs.
