Someday, My 68 Camaro will be...

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?

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?

I guess anything is possible but one thing I noticed is that the ball joints and anything else I inspected was original. Seems kind of odd for a frame-off to me.
However, I also noticed some odd healthy looking drums up front with much larger fins than mine had been. Eventually I can compare them side by side but stuff is all packed in totes and the sub is stored 7 miles away.

Either way it is just trivia at this point.

I only cared about the "H" itself as a solid and straight foundation. I intend to get it cleaned up, install my "cool parts" and swap subs.

Grrrrr...

Well, somebody else shared far worse project news than this lately... but here is my latest setback.

I bought a new radiator and this is how it arrived. It appears something pierced the box and struck the mounting flange with enough force to twist it and it even pulled away from the tank between welds.
The box did not show any external damage and packing was great. I had to look fairly hard and play CSI to find the cut in the box.
So far so good dealing with Fedex. I hope the trend continues.





Here is a link to a public photobucket album I made too.

Robert, very cool story behind the build thread. I dig the selection of the name "Someday".
