Thanks, they're sick. I'd love to find a set for my '68 Camaro.

HELP!!! I just got my new grill and headlight bezels, the grill is black with a chrome trim.
The question is do I paint the outside of the chrome body color and also do I paint the bezels body color? I have seen so many different ways of doing this.
Thanks in advance Dan

This is how it looks.

[R68GTO]

grill surround should be body color. Headlight bezels should be argent. Grill grate should be black for SS, argent for others (generally).

Standard headlamp bezels should match the grille.

I offended wondered what happened to the car OJs leaning on.

Facts of the matter suggest the car was no more than a convenient prop for the photos. OJ probably had no involvement with it other than the photos.

The car has the 1st design D90 stripe meaning it was built no later than the second week of November, 1968. The California XRK 691 tag was issued in 1968 and indicates the car was privately owned. Cars that were in Chevrolet company use had MFG 015 tags.

John De Lorean was the General Manager of Pontiac until being named Chevrolet General Manager February 1, 1969. That means the photos were taken some time after that, possibly March-April 1969.

Where is the OJ Camaro today? Probably lost in time.

Some updates getting close Glass and interior and it will be done

I'm kinda thinking you should sell me that Monte Carlo SS Dan?

If you every make it down to the Chicagoland area I would love to show you all the cars and parts!! I know it is too far for a trip but if you ever make it down here you are always welcome! I bought the 1985 Monte from a member right here. Sold new in Union Grove WI never restored, I bought it with 20,000 miles on the clock. Still has mostly original hoses.
