Missing body plugs
 

I am looking for 2 extra quarter panel plugs for my 70 Camaro. I believe these use some type of rubber grommet to seal as well. Pics below:

Paul,
Though very hard to find up here in the midwest, check out some of the older bone yards in your area. They were very common on a varity of GM cars in most body styles. I have a few but they are VERY difficult to find where they are not rusted through. They use a redish colored open cell foam gasket ring on the back and the green paint is very close to Cummins Diesel green which can be bought in a spray can. I do see them on ebay from time to time. Sorry I cannot help but I go through lots of these and they don't come easy in up here. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

HRPaul,

Is that the original patina on those quarters? Wow, those are dry as a bone! Very nice.

Re: Missing body plugs
 

Yes, all original with no rust. I will post some additional shots tonight. This particular car in an LA built Z that spent practically all it's life in Georgia, half in storage. The car also has 49,000 original miles.

Our local midwest yards still have 1968-73 GM vehicles holding these.
I usually pick them up off the ground,if the body panels themselves aren't still holding them.
I just clean em up,then hit them with a matching hobby color.
I've even found a foam rubber that is perfect gasket material.
The pair on the far left is done.The others are as found.
I can gladly spare you a couple if you still need them.

If you could spare a couple that would be fantastic. How much for the done pair? Also, I believe there is a rubber grommet (I think) in between the quarter panel and the Plug. One side is missing these grommets, where would I find these? Thanks Rick.

Were those used on the trunk drop offs on 69 Camaros?

No, they were rubber plugs.Sorry I do not have a picture of one.

Re: Missing body plugs
 

MR 70,Would you be willing to divulge the color name and company that makes it and your source for the foam gasket?

Re: Missing body plugs
 

Sure..The closest color match I found is called Green Sea Opaque made by a company called Delta.
The foam gasket I make is from a 2mm Cocoaish colored foam 12X18 sheet sold at hooby centers.
