<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: William</div><div class="ubbcode-body">This is exactly the sort of issue we regularly deal with at the CRG. People see differences in a component part and run with it despite having a tiny sample size.

There were almost 700,000 1st Gen Camaros built. Let's get more data from an evenly distributed sample size before drawing conclusions and docking points in judging. There are several examples of different parts being used simultaneously in production. </div></div>

Bill, the intent of starting this thread was not to jump to conclusion, just the opposite. I specifically asked for examples, from different years, plants and build dates. Out of the 700K cars how many have their original battery tray.

No one is making absolute statements just sharing info.. I expect the sample size to be quite small, but time will tell.

Your point is well taken &quot;Let's get more data from an evenly distributed sample size before drawing conclusions and docking points in judging&quot; and was a reason I started this thread. A friend had his concours restored car judged, and there was a points deduction for the battery tray.

Hope you and yours have a great New Year!!
