Default Re: Need info on Firewall plate

Well I wondered if it was anything good? I guess not. it does have the cowl hood and the other goodies. Of course all of them could have been put on it. I guess I misunderstood that the X was a special car. It does not have the big block heater outlet so I am not sure if it is anything other than just a plain camaro with options. The front end has a RS new grill and the headlights are cobbled in on some kind of strap that didn't come from Chev. There is no place for the lights to mount. I did pick up a set of RS lights at a swap meet for $100 and was planing on using them on this car.

The non-parallel holes are the standard holes that every tail panel emblem used... Bowtie, RS, SS, and Z/28 emblems all used the same holes. Thats also why Yenko used the staggered positioning of the "427" and "Yenko" emblems on the rear... to utilize the 2 existing staggered holes left when the bowtie emblem was removed.

I would check for the dual exhaust plate mounted to the frame on the driver's side next. Also, get the #'s off the rear. It does sound like a car someone was building into a Z28 clone though.

Thanks to all of you that replied. I guess that you have me at a loss for the LSide muffler mount but I will give it a look when I go for the rearend numbers just as soon as it drys out.

The S/N is 124379N609995 is that any help?

Sounds like someone put those RS adapters on the standard fenders to allow mounting the RS grill and headlights. Does it look like the stripes on the header panel come from both sides and then almost meet in the middle but curve towards the windshield as they would be heading up the hood? I see the hood has hood pin holes in it but it looks like a metal hood, is it?
