This is MY 67 Camaro

Aftermarket rack's are slightly different then (FOMOCO) made racks. I test fit every frame w/a rack so I know the gusset will clear. On the mullet car john used a flaming river rack, I needed to grind some of the gusset back to clear it also. But a real ford rack fits.

Scott, thanks for looking, do you think I should send this back and get a FOMOCO rack then? Is this gonna hold up? I thought as a kit it would work out better, guess not.

Looks like you could grind material off the front rack mount to clear the mounting bolt.

Yeah I flipped it 180* it won't fit either way ... a button head 5/8 bolt might help thou!

Or maybe swap to an Allen head bolt? It may take awhile to tighten tho. I had the same problem on my mustang rack but I'm just going to grind the front mounting brackets where the bolts are hitting .

Do none of that:
