I have some more photos of other low mile cars I will check them as well... This is the original brown dash pad, it is dated 11/30, My 71 RS with neutral interior had the same dash color configuration. no black recess. Does anyone know how to determine whether the CAMARO script on the dash was silver or not? LT includes Deluxe interior which has argent trim.

Well.... I’ve been trying to keep up the assembly pace on my personal 73 with your project but you are working just too darn hard and fast… Here’s a few comments / questions:
Wheels: My car is a 02A build date. The wheels are K-1-3 2 “valve stem” 1 AU, except one is a K-1-3 1 “valve stem” 22 AU. The odd thing is all my wheels are painted black inside as well as on the back side (original paint), except the one wheel with the earlier date code is painted gray on the inside and back side. Maybe this happened to be a transition date for changing from gray to black at the wheel factory? Chrome: Just got my parts back from the chrome shop (ouch – you don’t want to know the $$$ on that) and they look incredible! They don’t have the over shiny chrome effect of reproduction chrome parts. Not sure what layers they used but I am very pleased. Even the inside of the bumpers are lovely. The inside of the back bumper had numbers stamped in it repeated over and over. Looked pretty neat once the plating was done… P.S. Chrome is difficult to take pictures of... Roof rail moldings: Your recent picture shows the vertical roof rail weatherstrip retainers, but it doesn’t look like it has the second trim piece on the car that wraps over the edge of the body (see my pics)? Do you not have those items or am I just not seeing this correctly? Keep up the great work and posting of all your progress! Your efforts are really motivating me to get mine done in the near future! Charlie

It's difficult to get the kick panels in with the dash in...
I ended up taking the dash back out in order to put them in without scratching anything. Your wheels are 1973 MY and 1/22 and 2/1 This car has RS but NOT EXTERIOR STYLE TRIM,(so no body color door handle stripes, no hood edge trim roof rail, tail light inner rings, or rear trim) they were separate options in 1973.

Here is what I was referring to for the dash color:
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...9673f6&theater That is Scott Kiehne's 70 L78 car. also can be seen in Franks Arone's 70 Z28 with Green Dash: https://www.hemmings.com/magazine/mu...e1533613472352 See what I mean? Maybe a 70 only thing?

Dave - Classic has the Z87 Cowl seals, I am not sure if they are exactly the same as originals however they were in the cat.
