My New '68 Camaro Z/28 Butternut Yellow

Thanx.. If I remember correctly there never was a cover on the right, as it was protected by the spare as mentioned. I have my original in place..

Well that would be nice if mine wasn't missing one. That makes sense. So what products did you use to clean your trunk area?

[dannystarr]

I just reached way back in as far as I could and sprayed with Windex. Easy soft clean and not to heavy of a an odor. Since I was trapped in the trunk. There are still area's that you can see in the picture that look dirty and dusty. However they are not. That's just area's that did not get coverage when new. The white plastic on the side marker lights and wiring were pretty dirty. I stuck my camera WAY back up in the wells and got pictures all the way back in to the doors. I evaporusted some spots and took a hard bristle plastic brush and scrubbed all around. Whole project took about 4 hours or more. But removing the lights and really getting it clean was very rewarding visually. I just have to install a "Micro" wheel weight on the spare and call it good. Again, just nice to have a section complete. D

where are you getting the "micro" winged weights?

[dannystarr]

As soon as I seen Chicks thread about weights, I started looking for them. I have some now, in various sizes, and hoping when I get my Good Year Wide Tread GT's, I will have enough to actually BALANCE the original wheels. So I can drive it with those to shows etc. if need be... Not just hammer one on each wheel for the visual. We will see what happens. Don't have the dough for the tires yet. .. D

Here is PART of my collection.    .75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.50, 1.75, 2.0, 2.25, 2.50, 2.75, 3.0, 3.25, 3.50, and one big 5.0 half pound sucker.. Small ones don't have room for the word "Micro", so they have just an "M".. ALL the rest say "Micro"... D

well now I know who to talk to when I want to swap mine out for the originals....
I assume you got a lot of those from the bone yard?

Danny,

Nice collection of wheel weights...  I have a few coffee cans of those you can route through as you continue your search.

I do believe the 60's version of these wheel weights only had ounces written on both sides of the word Micro.  Such as "2.0 Micro 2.0",

Pretty sure they didn't change the numbering format to the "Ounces Micro Grams" version until the mid seventies, when the metric craze starting kicking in.

OUCH... Then that would mean these are incorrect? I need to be sure of that if anybody knows. Cause that means I am selling ALL of these but ONE. I better check all my other ones. I have another 20 or so... D

Danny....here is a link to an original tire and wheel Chick bought and it shows the early "Micro" weight.

I looked at my original spare and the only weight it has on it is a .5 and that is the only marking on the weight......too small for any other letters.

[BULLITT65]

I seen these wheel weights with the "wings". Is this correct?

[BULLITT65]

That original spare is nice, and it looks like the "wings" would be original. Now the search begins....

[dannystarr]

I seen some online for sale and they had a "C" where your "B" is located. The seller said the "C" stood for Camaro. Wonder how true THAT statement is... D

Right!  LOL! 

Danny, ask the seller how he knows the "C" isn't for Caprice, Chevelle, Corvette, etc.
