https://www.cartechbooks.com/product...jenkins-cars-1 Body shop dust made a mess of our new hinges. Stuff does not want to come off so I pulled off the hinge springs and ran them through the blast cabinet. After that a few coats of satin clear they’re looking pretty good. The springs were not as porous and did clean up better so I left them and reinstalled. Last shot, hood hinges and all the striker stuff received the same blast and seal treatment.

Re: 67 Camaro Build
I'm kind of surprised they allowed the "Toy" at that show. It has been confirmed as not the original Toy III and even Bill made that clear years ago. The car owner claims it is the '67 that was "converted", but the trim tag clearly shows it is a '68 built car.....

Re: 67 Camaro Build
I didn’t know about the 68-trim tag (a 68 tub would certainly make using 68 doors much, much easier!
![]() https://www.onallcylinders.com/2016/...toy-iv-camaro/ https://www.chevyhardcore.com/featur...enkins-toy-iv/ A quick mockup of the core support was in order so it could go for paint. Here’s what the factory setup would look like on this side (pic#3), made a simple standoff bracket for the MSD relay module. I won’t use the washer jar as the new WW motor doesn’t have a pump. Also, we won’t need the external voltage regulator we’ll be running a 12si internal regulated 150 amp alternator to support the radiator fans and stereo components. A replacement horn relay will be located in the same place. Everything else (battery tray, headlight brackets, horns, etc.) has been bolted to the core support so it and the rest of that stuff can go. ![]()

Re: 67 Camaro Build
Looks like good progress.
The Camaro is a very nice "rendition" but is not the original, as they vehemently claim. Another thread to read thru. A lot of vintage pics to look at, if nothing else... ![]() https://www.yenko.net/forum/showthre...grumpy+jenkins |

Re: 67 Camaro Build
I think so, steady progress continues to be the goal.
Lots of contradictory irrefutable evidence in the thread you provided. And you are right, the pics are great! I know, I know, how many vintage green line pedestal tachometers does one person need? NOS, in the box with original hardware! I saw this on the local classifieds and ran right over to make it mine. ![]()

Re: 67 Camaro Build
Continuing to work brake lines, the intermediate rear line has just enough room to pass under the left subframe connector. It looks like it's running close to the rollbar’s rear downbar mount bolts, but it’ll clear. I'm not super happy with how close the rear brake hose is getting to the exhaust. It’d probably be ok but moving it further right would be even better.
