Really like the period photos of these old drag cars.
Any progress or thoughts on the rear wheel houses ? Any pics to see what has been done ? If the floor, or frame rails, are butchered and needs replacement, it may be easier to finish a clean install of mini-tubs. If it is just the wheel house, that is a fairly easy replacement and can look quite original when done properly.

Except for the early big blocks. Same thing with the first few Z/28s in 67.

...
... Does anyone have the vin # and cowl tag info on Grumpy Jenkins 1967 396/375 Camaro ?
... My Camaro was built 03D
... Which I believe is the same week that Grumpy's car was built.
... I would also like to see how close the body numbers are.
... All that info I believe would be shown on the cowl tag info.
... Thanks for your help. You all are a wealth of knowledge !
