I have a nice black 4-spd console w/power window cut out, has a nice original console lid as well.

Thanks. My car has crank windows.

Anyone who has replaced the glove box on a 67 or 68 Camaro can appreciate why things cost so much to restore.

My dad taught me years ago how to remove the rear bottom seat... Move the front seats fully forward, climb into the back floorboard and straddle the tunnel, using your feet against the back of the front seats and your knees against the lower frame on the front of the back seat push against the back seat to move the seat rearward while lifting up on the seat to get it out of the retainer.

He taught me this better than 50 years ago and I used this same method recently removing the back seat from my sons '69 Camaro. Naturally, climbing in and out of the car now takes a little more time than it was when I was 12-14 years old.

Getting. Under the dash has to be the worst! I got it done, but it still hurts!

My 70 Z has a MSD box under the dash. The car would shut off after it would get warm last year but start up after sitting a couple minutes. I narrowed it down to the box. I did not install it and the guy did a nice job but had a month of chiropractor after that.

Removing,installing & aligning 4 cranking roll down glass windows is no picnic.And even worse if they're power windows and need to rebuild each motor and check wiring for faults..

Adjusting door glass on a 2nd gen F-body can be frustrating if you forgot how to do it...

[67since67]

I had forgotten this one...

Building back the convertible top and side glass from scratch when it all, including top bows, had been blown apart for ten years, adjusting the top bows and side glass to work together, and Then installing a zero wrinkle top.

Oh, and it's a power top too...

NEVER again!
