"That sure helps narrow down the date between late Feb or Early March on when the change over was for Indent on RH fender!"

Agreed Scott...what amazes me more is the indent so early in production for an assembly (air cleaner intake) that didn't show up until the 75 model year.

I think I am going to pass, my heart just isn't in it. And whose idea was it at GM to make you put it in reverse to get the dang key out? Was kind of embarrassing at the gas station lol.

Dang, I'd be all over that car at 18k. I did a regional CL search last night on '70 Camaros and a total POS non Z28 has an ask in the high teens.

edit: I don't have any room in the garage, but does you buddy like Jeeps?

Sometimes they do these things based around tooling rebuild cycles. The inner part of the inner fender may have been needing maintenance and this change may have been planned for quite awhile. The tool went down and that was the best time to do it. Maybe the air cleaner part wasn't ready in 74 so that delayed the final install.

Whats kind of weird is the requirement for the indent. It probably would have been just as functional with just a blanked oval hole in the flat panel. The punch tooling for the die most likely did not locate from the indent. More likely it was in the prog die that locates from other features in the strip anyway.
