Look closely, there's a bit of an 'anomaly' with this car. It's a '68, but it has no side markers ...
The car itself was awsome, ...but then the trailer, ...sheez |
Very cool Kevin!
I would’ve loved to have seen that car in person, the trailer reminds me of TV Tommy Ivo’s glass-sided haulers.

If I remember correctly Doug Boyce mentioned in his Grumpy’s Toys book, that Grumpy had bolted the 67’s fenders on his 68 for some reason. I’ve seen pics of it that way also, but it retained the 68’s side marker lights in the rear. Very similar look to this tribute car though, I’m guessing these links are to the same car.

Fun build! Thanks for taking the time to post!

Thanks NONHOG, I appreciate your comments.
All the inner structures have holes in the stampings for the window mechs, but found they are off here and there (arrow). No biggie, just elongate the hole a little and bolt it down. Didn’t have anything bad enough that I felt the hole needed to be welded up and redrilled. Also adding the mounting tabs for the deluxe interior rear arm rests, these will get tacked when I’m positive on the final location, they’re close now.
Pics of the passenger’s side glass mock up to this point. This side continues to be the more difficult (PITA
) side, it has been for body panels and continues for the wing window fitment. The quarter and door glass will fit fine once the ww is correctly placed. Had to modify the front lower mount adjusters opening in this door’s inner structure (incorrectly placed opening). Sorry, no pic fender was in the way at this time, using a die grinder from inside the door I opened up the mounting hole until the ww adjuster screw could mount.
It's close, but no cigar, the ww just barely touches the a-pillar up towards the top (see pic). We also have a gap between the ww weatherstrip and the outer door skin. That leads to a canyon between the door glass and the outer door skin. With just enough adjustment to get the pieces in the door, roll up and down the windows, it’s obvious this area is needing more work. More to come on this issue in a future post of the 67 Camaro Build thread! Ha, that sounds like a closing statement from a Freiburger show on Motortrend.
