the car did come with the " not so factory" cowl-plenum delete plate when i bought it....( a piece of bent sheetmetal painted black and screwed in over the hole)

this and the other side similar are the only rust issues with the car......I have the lower patch panels to fix them. I definitely would not replace the quarters...

the other side...it had a bit of old muddddd in there already on a prior fix...the car was painted before. I believe once you get into it, you may have to replace a bit larger portion on this side...but definitely not more than just a lower patch panel...

the portions in the photos that are pimed were stripped bare including the doors, inside and out, trunklid, etc....the firewall has been stripped and painted, but the undermeath of the body..ie floors and trunk have not been stripped...(just to answer some questions I have recieved...) Heres a pic of the firewall...notice that pretty hole again!! hahaha Thanks again Yenko.net

Nope; bodies were not made 'in order'.

Imagine if you will hundreds of body tags [not assembled bodies] and other paperwork in queue at Fisher body. Maybe it was all in a vinyl pouch. Someone in production control at Fisher looks at the Chevrolet assembly schedule for the day/week and releases the appropriate body tag/paperwork to production. Chevy then gets the assembled body when they expect it.

Having had a good friend that was a Chevy dealer there was seasonality to HP cars. They peaked spring through late summer.

The CRG db has very few 07C '67 tags. It could be yours was one of the last ordered. Just for grins the '67 Z/28 our business restored had an 06E tag, a July 6th engine, June 22 trans, March 20 axle but a VIN indicating it was built in July with 07B cars.

BTW the last VIN at NOR was N254698.

Research, same way Paleontologists know about dinosaurs. I have been involved with 1st gens for 33 years.

I am also APICS certified, led certification classes for several years and have been the education chair on the chapter BOD for 5 years. I have worked in manufacturing for 37 years. What all that means is I have some knowledge of production control systems.
