General Discussion / Re: How Much Do You Drive?

« on: December 04, 2009, 06:02:05 AM »

I've had my 67 rs since 77 and it used to be a daily driver, over the years it has gained value and looks so now only driving about 500-800 miles a year, always garaged and never driven in the rain or winter. I wonder if there could be a poll regarding length of ownership? I would wager that there are not too many folks that have owned their Camaro more than 10 years...

Maintenance / Re: 1967 rs headlight door operation

Thanks sdkar, I also heard that if the limit switches are receiving a good ground that could cause similar issues...so seems like focus in on them. Funny thing is like I described, they worked 3 x's perfectly and I hadn't changed anything since (about 9 yrs ago). Will get a chance to mess with them this weekend and will post when they work  Cross your fingers...
Thanks

Maintenance / 1967 rs headlight door operation

« on: October 03, 2009, 03:13:04 PM »

Hello all...
I am needing support regarding the headlight door operation of my 67 rs. I have an original L30/M20 since 1977 and in 1978 crashed the front end, couldn't find an rs nose so replaced with a 68 std clip, got it painted, ran it until 2000 when I was able to get nos GM fenders and aftermarket headlight buckets, limit switches, motors, and a local guy had other parts like a wiring harness, relay board and relays. Anyway, got it all together and the doors opened and closed electronically for the first time since I have owned the car! Pretty cool, so drove to show a friend and when I got there nothing worked. Over the course of time and checking connections, etc, now the doors close by themselves but do not open. I'm thinking relays or harness but figured I would look to the CRG forum for others with similar experiences and/or advice. I have a friend who is a tech in a local speed/performance shop who says he will help but never seems to find the time... think he is avoiding this one
Any advice/suggestions would be appreciated...

Restoration / 67 package tray

« on: October 03, 2009, 02:20:23 PM »

Another new member here looking for some info. I made a bonehead decision back in 1980 (?) and cut the rear seat framework out of my car and replaced with a speaker panel. I am restoring the interior and installing a 68 fold down seat I picked up at a junkyard at about the same time-go figure? I have since located a replacement frame and have welded back into place and it looks pretty good considering... I have repainted the floor and interior and have all the aftermarket parts needed to complete the process. The problem is in figuring out how the package tray configures with the cardboard trunk divider-the package tray has a 1/2" foam and a vinyl cover facing toward the front that I assume is folded over/under the tray and sits on top of the divider but could use a pic to insure this is correct. Any help or picture is really appreciated
