Cheers Charlie https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif Good data - especially for early LA car owners.

Looks like I'm about 13K off your car in build. But, I notice the trim tags differ. When did they go from "LOS" to "VN"? Or are they seperate factories all togther? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

The VIN

Again - good ref material.

Re: Early production 69 Camaro details.
 

Early LA cars had LOS on the tag until about the same time they went to X codes at Norwood (12B), then the Plant designation changed to VN. 12C is about when VN started showing up on tags at LA. Lee, your car is close to the VN time change.

By the way Jonesy...happy birthday yesterday... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Early production 69 Camaro details.
 

Thanks Mike...did not know that...

Re: Early production 69 Camaro details.
 

Wonder if the R and 0 could have been reversed when they stamped Lees trim tag?

Re: Early production 69 Camaro details.
 

Could you tell me if the entire trunk latch is painted or just the part showing after adjusting the trunk. Also are the bolts securing it painted Blue?

Re: Early production 69 Camaro details.
 

Charlie,
How are the rear seat belts arranged? ie, which are male and which are female; on the doubles, which are towards the floor?

When I dismantled my car, the belts looked untouched, so I marked the positions of each belt, and then put the new belts back the same way. My way differed from what I have observed on some other very nice restos.

Re: Early production 69 Camaro details.
 

Latch is painted after installation. Bolts are painted. https://www.yenko.net/attachments/289859-026.JPG

Bolts

Re: Early production 69 Camaro details.
 

Thanks for the pics of the latch,My car is a 68 LA car so I would think they were painted the same.

Re: Early production 69 Camaro details.
 

Unreal. I didn't take any more of that car but here is my 17K mile L89. https://www.yenko.net/attachments/289867-001.JPG

I like the tape! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Early production 69 Camaro details.
 

Thanks Charlie, That confirms that I installed mine correctly. Don't think I put the outside ones down, though. Sometime when I feel like wrestling the back seat I'll fix that. I wonder why they were done that way? The tag is below the seat level, so it wouldn't show either way.

Re: Early production 69 Camaro details.
 

Charlie is it safe to say these cars were painted totally assembled?

327 LM1 killer I will be selling. I figure combining it with the lighter 10 bolt rear versus the LM1's heavier 12 bolt it should leave it in the dust. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

No. Read http://www.camaros.org/assemblyprocess.shtml

Re: Early production 69 Camaro details.
 

So am I correct in thinking the doors and trunk lid were painted while on the body?

Re: Early production 69 Camaro details.
 

yes.

Re: Early production 69 Camaro details.
 

Thanks for the insight

Re: Early production 69 Camaro details.
 

Charley,

Could you post a pic or two of the original gas tank sending unit ground screw if it's still around? I'd like to know size, length and head style.

Thanks

Re: Early production 69 Camaro details.
 

arrgh. Took it out and thru it in bin I think. As I recall it takes a 5/16" socket to remove. I will look for it.

Re: Early production 69 Camaro details.
