Re: Pics of Possible Dana?
I gotta weigh in on the "COOK" is too cranky side. If jg95z28's comments were limited to what I see on this thread, that flame directed at him was way out of line. There's nothing there to take offense at. And as for thinking of him as a kid, while it may seem patronizing, is just an honest mistake unless the writer starts his thread with his age and a biography.
If he's got vultures giving him static offline, I'd like to hear about that before he writes off the board membership as more trouble than they're worth. Finally, I take offense at the comment about being disappointed in a board that takes 25 year old enthusiasts seriously. I'm positive I knew more about Yenkos, Z28's and yes, DANAS when I was 25 than this guy knows right now, no matter how much of an elder Camaro statesman he fancies himself. You can talk about age bringing experience and wisdom, but straight KNOWLEDGE can be gained quickly, if you take something seriously and immerse yourself in it. For the record, I'm 33, staring down middle age (hair loss, elevated cholesterol, having to know what a prostate is, etc) and wouldn't mind being referred to as a kid once in a while, if only to offset the feeling I get from our 15 year old babysitters that I'm an old fuddy duddy, cool cars notwithstanding.

Re: Pics of Possible Dana?
Let me look at what I said to see where I went wrong...
[ QUOTE ] Wow, is that ever rough. [/ QUOTE ]Well it is a little rough isn't it? [ QUOTE ] So its got RS bits and pieces but the rear valance is missing the RS backup lights... hmmmm... although it could've been replaced. [/ QUOTE ]I was being serious not facetious. I've only owned 67-68 RS Camaros, so I know a little bit about them. [ QUOTE ] Did you check the headlamp switch for the vacuum hose hook ups? That would help answer the RS question. [/ QUOTE ]Again serious. The 68-69 RS Camaros used a vacuum system to control the headlamp doors. The headlamp switch on the dash actually has vacuum hoses connected to it. If its a real RS, the original switch might still be there. [ QUOTE ] It could be a nice project if the price is right, even if it ends up not being a true Dana. [/ QUOTE ]Again serious. Heck if the price is right it can still be a nice project car. Now if he's all bent about my "How cheap is cheap" comment... then I'm sorry, I don't know what the guys' problem is.

A good way to lose a good car out from under you is to ask too many questions about it for a month and post pics of it and answer questions asked either publicly or privately as to its whereabouts [/ QUOTE ] That's why I'm keeping my mouth shut....

Re: Pics of Possible Dana?
If the car is in the 3,000 or less, i would buy it. You do not see many cars with -- paint. Also has a/c and 12 bolt. A nice car to work with, dana or not. Roger

Re: Pics of Possible Dana?
Ok look I took it a little far with the whole kid thing and the comment on the RS components and how "rough the car is". Obviously you saw the pics and I had a pic of the RS grommet. As for the tail panel; you can see were bondo was used to fill in the backup light holes. Why? I havent got a clue. But I felt on the back side of the panel and there are holes bondoed were the backup lights should be. As for the comment on how rough the car is; maybe you live in an area were cars do not rust and all the original parts are still on the car and that is great. But the fact of the matter is that in reality the car is pretty solid for the most part and all the mistakes made on the car can be easily fixed. When it comes to Camaro knowledge I get a little on the defensive side. As for the comment from tom406; " I'm positive I knew more about Yenkos, Z28's and yes, DANAS when I was 25 than this guy knows right now, no matter how much of an elder Camaro statesman he fancies himself". I am assuming that this comment is directed towards me. I have never said I knew more than the next guy. Quote: "I am very familiar with big blocks, z's and even Yenko's, Baldwin Motion but I can not find any literature on the Dana cars". I am sorry that you feel I have come off as a "know it all", but I would be the first to tell you I am not the "Camaro god of knowledge". All I was after was info and knowledge from this site which I have gotten and I have always thanked and been very appreciative in my replies. Once again, thanks to all for the info and knowledge that I have obtained. For the most part this site has been very benefical to my researching needs and I thank everyone for their inputs on this subject.

You think that car is rough? You California boys don't know what rough is. Most of us Midwest and Northeastern guys would like to have that rust free body and smooth unpitted subframes and A-frames. I'll tell you about rough. How about a car parked in a town next to Weirton Steel or Wheeling Pitt Steel. That and combined with cold snowy salt encrusted roads leads to rough cars. When Hot Rod did the crusher Camaro several years ago they said it was rough because they had to use an extra application of Simple Green on the undercarriage. Give me a break. Where we are at we would need extra bags of sand for the sandblaster, gross of swazall blades and extra gas bottles for the mig welder.
