I am glad I found those in the pile of gease & gunk when I pressure wash my crossmember they were covered in grease and stayed in plce while carrying the cross member to & from the truck & at the thime I diidn't even know those parts existed.

There are many ways to do it wrong & one way to do it right. I just did mine the way it wasfrom the factory. but as it was said before the angle could vary a little bit ( depending on who masked the area off).

I think you'll find that the same black paint was used for the firewall, rocker blackout, and 396 tail panel.

Thats what I thought ,I thought this part of the assy. process was done at the same time. I also thought this topic was put to rest two pages ago.

I still lean towards the panels being full gloss, or something real close.  The blackout was painted the same time the stripes and rocker blaclout were painted.  From a manufacturing perspective no one would have painted the stripes full gloss, and then switched to a something more than semi gloss (say 80% gloss paint) for the tail panel and rockers when 99.9 percent of the peple buying the car would not have known the difference.

] What about the firewall?

Yes that is the black that extends over lip , Yes that is orignal. yes the trunk lip is black from left to right.What the pic. is showing is if you draw a stright line from where the trunk lip black is to the bottom edge of where the qtr.panel & the tail pan meet that is how it was taped off . Not following the tailpan to qtr. panel seam , like I have seen alot of them redone .

  See if  this helps .

Let us know what you find out.

Since when were the turbo 350 & the B.B. crossmembers the same?

This ? is close but on a 68 what  finish on he metal cover over the fuel filler neck .

Whoops, it should read Left hand side. Or drivers side

Should be on the R.H. side near the hood hinge on the outerside of the flange.

There's a set on team camaro.

Moroso kit # 26140  Summit or Jegs Should have them.

At least the car has the original crossmember.
