Someday, My 68 Camaro will be...

[Roberts68]

I have a couple of acquisitions to report.

First, from 15 miles North of Duluth MN



The subframe has light surface rust on it from sitting for 15 years, but came from AZ 20 years ago as part of a '69 which donated it's shell to a restoration.

AND more recently, in fact it is in transit due here Wednesday...




Also, in the interim since posting we moved again ... back to where I lived before so setting up my garage how it had been was pretty easy, stuffing more parts in it not so much. I have most of the things on wheels or dollies now so moving this/that out of the way is less tedious.

Two moves in 10 months and all the time leading up to and settling back in from basically cost us a good year.

Good looking frame. Who's radiator is that? Stop moving!

Believe me Bro' I have stopped. Lesson in futility there lemmee tell ya.
The house I am sitting in "sold" for my asking price in 8 days once I listed it after a bunch of fuss to make it "just so". The appraisal came in lower than the purchase agreement by too much to make up... The buyer was doing an FHA loan.

Property values and market instability killed the deal.

That is a PRC radiator. similar to what Todd has in Payback which is testimonial enough for me, he even bought another after drilling a hole in the core of his first one.

I may have snow accumulation until I up my horsepower and run the AC on high in July!

Who can tell me what those two tabs are off the crossmember adjacent to each motor mount perch? What engine would those be used with?

pretty sure those are part of pontiac mounts.

Weird. If that is so then what the guy said about using the AZ shell off this sub for his 69 Camaro resto wouldn't make a lot of sense because the bodies have differences.

Right? Rear quarters and such?

It doesn't affect my world since the subs match but I was curious. I wondered if it could have been a 6 cylinder bracket and none of my Camaro parts catalog searches showed them.

Maybe the frame had been swapped out at some point in the cars life?
