What? I'd think the Ford &quot;CAUTION FAN&quot; sticker would always be first.

For some reason, those seem to be far more prevalent on Camaros than on Chevelles [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Thank you for that Dan [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] and Bill, where there is a caution fan sticker there usually is a upside down cowl induction seal, just sayin' [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]

The last 2 70 SS chevelles i bought had those covers, i took them off but sold them for $20 a set.
It is better than throwing them away.

What kills me though is when i go to car shows and some nim rod asks me &quot;hey,were are the cowl covers? your missing them buddy&quot; then i think to myself, heres another guy i got to tell that 70 chevelles never had them and they don't believe me anyways [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

I agree about the upside down Cowl seal [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/haha.gif[/img]
How about most guys restoring a 70 SS these days and putting on the center trim pieces on the front grill.

Don't throw them out: use them to clean out your litter box. (Assuming you have a BIG cat!) [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]
