It's difficult to get the kick panels in with the dash in...
I ended up taking the dash back out in order to put them in without scratching anything.

Your wheels are 1973 MY and 1/22 and 2/1

This car has RS but NOT EXTERIOR STYLE TRIM,(so no body color door handle stripes, no hood edge trim roof rail, tail light inner rings, or rear trim) they were separate options in 1973.

Here is what I was referring to for the dash color:

That is Scott Kiehne's 70 L78 car.

also can be seen in Franks Arone's 70 Z28 with Green Dash:

See what I mean? Maybe a 70 only thing?

Copper Nickel Chrome... Copper plate to fill in surface irregularities then polished, then nickel plated, then chromium - the chrome is the thinnest layer and the Nickel is what is polished and then chromed in order to produce the luster.

Wow that is NEWS to me... I have never seen that, it may be unique to the 70 model, I have never owned or worked on a 1970 Camaro at any time.

Replated the tail light sockets and replaced the lower steering shaft boot and lower steering column bearing... (same as a Jeep Grand Cherokee)

started putting the tar and jute underlayment in and carpet as well...

Coming along nicely, I plated more parts... the insert sleeve for the back drive bell crank - stamped with SPI.
