Here's some more pictures of the engine. The nice thing about this car is the drive train had never been messed with or lost. I had to find an alternator, fan & fan clutch...Joe

Nice work ! Just scavenging the repair panel would scare off many !!
(I did a similar repair on a 68 GTO many years ago).

Body all back together. Had to build a body cart which I had never done. Everything mounted at the torque boxes. It wouldn't be till July of 2019 before this part would go to the shop. Doors & lid were taken to the shop a few months back....Joe

I was looking at these pictures I just posted. In the 3rd picture, next to the wiper mounting holes, above the seam sealer, in pencil, does that look like it says C08? It's real faint. Never noticed that before.
What might be the blue graffiti? ..Joe

Never seen a hidden VIN there on a '69 Camaro. Wonder if they changed places on the later built cars.

I agree, Warren. That's a new one on me, as well as the funky passenger side smog tube. One of the great parts of the hobby is you never stop learning.

Thanks for all the pics, Joe. Great stuff.

This is from CRG but they don't show a picture of "with a/c". Another guy in town has his apart. He'll send a picture. His is a Jan 69 from LA....Joe

From CRG "On the firewall below the fan motor opening (non-AC cars) or below the heater opening (AC cars). This requires the heater or air conditioning box removal, and therefore most car buyers will not have an opportunity to view this stamp."
