Default Re: 68 Camaro Z28 grill

marlin - the 68 copo is undergoing resto now by CPR..and considering its from yenko, i was checking the nameplate situation for those cars

The 68Z is done - but the 68Z grill i have is all silver and i was told that was not correct . . so im checking opinions on the correct color.

Seems like resto's are never done!!

Ed, The grille on your car is wrong. I remember seeing a picture of it someplace. Steve's explaination of how it should be is correct. But you really need a good photo to understand how it should be. I don't have time to look for one at the moment. If you find a picture of a 68 non SS non RS camaro that is the way the Z/28 grille should be painted.

Is this the pic that you were talking about?



If so, it was taken from this thread

Another way of saying it might be the eggcrate part of the grille (including the turn signal area) should be silver and the rest of the plastic (from the front) should be semi-gloss black.
