Not certain if this is original spray on the heater box cover but its consistent all over it and the blower motor.

I will probably go at the cover with thinner or reducer once I can confirm this isn't original. We don't need another gas tank mishap..:no:

Up next is the heater assembly inner. I'll have a follow up with details of the blower coil and bracket as well as floor duct.

Note the #7 on the box. The tank had 20. mixing of assembly parts as they don't really matter as long as its a non big block or A/C. Idk what it is at this point but documenting it nontheless..

The inner box does have that textured finish like the dash top to note as well. And yes I do plan to soak it.

Darrell I'm really enjoying this thread on your '68.Having owned a '68 Camaro they have always been my fav first gen and I have always thought that they never get the love that '67's and '69's do.Keep up the good work sir!
