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 bought all new SW green line gauges for my '55 Belair, but the tach is one that goes into a panel so I I bought a chrome cup for the back of it!!! I wish I knew about the tach you bought I would have gotten it!!! My '55 had old green lines when I got it in 1972 but when I turned 16 I changed them out with some cheap made in taiwan gauges!!!!

Re: 67 Camaro Build
SW green line gauges are one of my favorite old skool gauges, for this project I’m leaning towards my updated SW 977j pedestal tach (1st link). That and some new reproduction SW deluxe series black face gauges to facilitate a cowl-mounted fuel pressure gauge (2nd link, more on that stuff later).

Re: 67 Camaro Build
While Perk’s is getting some paint on the front clip, I’m mocking up our fuel line plumbing at the back of the car. As mentioned earlier, the new rear exhaust hanger bar is handy to mount the fuel filter. Our fuel tank is still wearing the cover Mrs. 7dee2 made to protect the powder-coated finish.
