2 Piece Scattershield What Vintage?

[Jeff Murphy]

Lakewood started with the one piece hydroformed housings in 1968/69, if I'm not mistaken. I seem to recall articles on Grump's cars showing changeover to the one piece on his '68 car, but I'm not sure if they were available retail yet. I think they produced these two piece shields for several more years. Seems like people were evaluating more weight / perhaps less structural integrity but easy access of the two piece vs the lighter, stronger less accessible one piece, which clearly won out in the end. Running the same shield as the one pictured in my COPO.
