Already have another I will use, but couldn’t pass this up. Some cracks in the primer. This Spring I will strip and inspect in more detail:

4-25-2020 – Tenzo-R-Turismo
I discovered another Tenzo-R-Turismo steering wheel and bought it (on left). I like it better than the first one I bought (on right).
Been busy swapping the mower deck back on the riding mower after taking the snow blower off. Going to have a few weeks of furlough this year, so coming up with a to-do list for the Camaro to see what I can work on. First will be some yard work around Memorial Day and then more time starting July for the Camaro.
10-27-2018 – Another delivery – OEM Big Block BB Fan Shroud – 3973920
I received my OEM GM Big Block Fan Shroud. I am including comparison photos of the repo fan shroud from OER. The fins are larger and the plastic is heavier. Very happy!
OEM one:
GM Part Number stamped:
Repo on left – notice the fin size and on the repo, the hole isn’t pre-drilled

Scored some NOS barrel nuts for my 73 RS long fender bars and also some barrel nuts for some of the trim pieces:
4-16-2017 – Updates
Received a couple more items yesterday:
Thinking of having this nickle-plated:
NOS Quarter panel trim:
Woodgrain dash bezel – I had one already, but the cigarette lighter hole opening needed work. This one has no issues. I also received a wiper switch for the recessed wipers.
I also had to replace a water trap in my air compressor air line that was leaking air – I plan on using the blast cabinet next weekend and needed to get that resolved ahead of time.
3-4-2017 – 1973 Camaro RS Braces
ok – so I already have a complete set of these braces, but the long fender bars are NOS. I was able to obtain another set which all of the pieces are used OEM which is what I will mount on the car keeping my NOS bars. This is the first set I have: https://dougbratton.info/blog/2015/12/1973-camaro-rs-braces/
Here is the new set I just obtained – they were required on the 1973 RS Camaro due to stronger government rules:
2-27-2017 – Steering Shaft
My steering shaft for the tilt-column arrived:
I will be restoring this. It is different from the non-tilt column as seen in these pictures:

2-20-2017 – Rims
Just picked-up a set of Rally Rims – complete with SUPER NICE chrome trim rings and wheel caps. The rubber is going back to the owner, but I will be purchasing new tires when ready. I will also be painting them another color.
12-5-2016 – Postman paid me a visit…
This time he brought me brackets for the a/c condenser. It will need to be painted and bushings replaced, but the price was a good deal. A couple of days later another set was twice as much!
I have another item on it’s way which I am very excited about… Check back in a few days – more details once it arrives!
