Shor I love the blue bowtie on the yellow car! ssl78 I didn't notice yours as well when I was at the show. Wasn't this an old debate about the Douglas cars and the rear blue bow ties?

Frank it was but it shouldnt be because My car and shors car have original tail panels and both had the holes drilled in the same spot. I wonder if Clints car is the same way.

Thanks for the info. I will follow suit on the tail panel and fenders. Chris, do you know if the hood on your car is original? Did it originally have the emblems on the hood? Stefano? I am still waitng on some pictures of my car from the original owner when the car was new. I only have one picture of the car in 1972 but I am not able to see the emblem placement. He states that the car was badged but does not remember the exact placement.

Just curious...why did you not put the emblems back where they were originally? Were the emblems on Shor's above the the "Camaro" script as well?

I wish my car was done. The car is at the point where we are just looking for templates for emblem placement. In the next week, the body will be done and in primer. Most of the body is done and the restorer is just hanging the front end sheet metal and getting it all lined up. The car is coming along very nicely and I am very pleased with the restorers work. He has really done the car the way I wanted it and has nice detail. I still have to complete the motor, trans, rear, interior and paint. It is probably 5-6 months from completion.

Good point Rob. I think that it would look kind of funny though. Although, if it was done that way at Douglass, it would be cool to see a Douglass car restored that way. Chris? Stefano?

I just didnt like the way it looked with the emblems on the top of the script. The way it was on the tail panel I thought looked ok. I did the car so I can drive it and enjoy it for a while. I also know it will be framed off at a later date. As for Shors car it isnt original fenders so there is no way of knowing the placement.

Clint do you know if yours came with a enduro bumper and chambered exhaust like all the others.

Unless we get some pictures from an original owner......
