SEM Trim Black is as close to factory as you can get. I had a NOS grill

Go to EBay. FYI - I have purchased over 60
items and have never been ripped off. The only mistakes I made was to not
ask questions. If it looks like duck and quacks like a duck then its probably
duck. Be realistic, I did a quick search under 12 bolt posi and came up with 98
hits under P&A.

Hello again
Thanks to all for the kind words, nice to get a
little validation for all the hard work. A little more on the car to answer a
few of the list questions. I built the car to basically keep it's stock

Excuse me, too funny. I just finished spraying PPG Sash Black on the
interior of my 1968 SS 396 4spd El Camino. Tomorrow, after unmasking it, my
first thought was to fit the contraband compartment...RLMAO come to
think of it my 70 had one too. One thing el caminos have over the "others"

Hello
Does anyone know how to dismantle a 1968 Chevelle
ignition switch. I didn't disassemble the dash, but have to put it back
together. If you know what I'm talking about then you know that it is surrounded
by a chrome plastic bezel that threads onto the switch housing. I won't go over
