The stamping is really light. I would say the last letter is &quot;T&quot;. The first, I cannot make it out. A &quot;WT&quot; master would have come on the car. Are the original stampings usually that light?

The way the bore of the master was corroded and the patina of the exterior, a person may be willing to speculate it is original. I'm surprised the M/C kit worked

Thanks,

Tim

Tim,

That is correct for 67-68 power disc Camaro's {WT}1 1/8 bore. The {AD 1&quot; bore} is for manual disc which is the same as the 67 Nova with factory disc. They are all hard to find!

Looks good to me on originality to the car Tim...great car!!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

While waiting to get a baseplate, I thought I would take the opportunity to start preserving the paint. Inspired by Darrel Cook, I clayed the car out, and started the #7 Meguiar's spa treatment.

The results are somewhat minimal. I certainly can see on the towels where the oxidation from the metallic was being picked up. I have chosen not to proceed with any machine polishing, opting for the natural look of the lacquer.

I never would have thought I (or any of us) would spend so much time documenting how lousy the finish quality was on my pride and joy(s)

In the coming days, I am going to work on some small detail items. I snapped some pics as to my body of work ahead of me.
