What is the original material for the oil drain bolt gasket?

Are the engine and trans drain bolt gaskets the same material?

Why use copper versus nylon?

There are several pictures of 68 Camaros with gray grilles.  It looks like none of the grilles are painted with black and silver.  I assume most of the pictures are from early production and used for advertising.

I would be surprised if the grille was painted two different colors since of the labor involved.

Maybe I will try and remove some of the black paint from my 68 original grille to see the original color.

I noticed in the CRG Active Research Topics for 1968 that it states the November cars did not have the plastic Astro ventilation grill in the quarter panel.

My 68, built the last week of September 1967 in Norwood, has the Astro body vents in the rear quarter panels. 

I tried to attach a picture of the mirror, but I receive an error that the "uploaded is full"

The mirror is rectagular but I think it is aftermarket. 

A picture is worth a thousand words; however, attaching a picture cannot be done in this forum.

Was there only one design for the 68 Camaro door mirror without remote?

The mirror on my 68 Camaro does not look like the mirrors in the catalogs.  It sounds like the mirror gets loose and is replaced.  I read that the 68 Firebird had 2 mirror designs, but is sounds like the 1st design was the 67 round mirror.
