Part Name
 

I have a 69 SS and am trying to figure out what the part is that is in the engine compartment and stops water from entering the compartment coming from the wheel assembly. It looks like it is about a sq ft in size and may be made of either plastic or a fiberous material

Mine are rubber. Splash arm seals.

Jcorn, here ya go. At Ecklers Chevelles http://www.ecklerschevelle.com/cheve...1968-1972.html

Be sure you get the correct one. Different ones for plastic or metal inner fender wells. The staples are hard to bend to install them. Some people use wire instead.

and a little more done.
 

Im starting to see light at the end of the tunnel
Please dont let it be a train....lol
Fender extensions are on and look ok.
head lamps in with restored buckets and AMK hardware.

Looking good. Living vicariously through you now.

Looking really good. Did you happen to check the chrome inserts around your head lights before you painted fender extensions. The after market ones will not fit originals ones if you used any after market ones.

Still have the 46 year old originals....a few pits
and broken lower tab on one but good for now.
In the future perhaps re chrome or nos if i win loto.

Bumper time.
 

Ordered new bumpers...AMD from jegs...free shiping.
Blasted primed and painted all the brackets.
The front bumper looks better than the rusty one that was on before.
I used pipe insulation foam for my one man instal....no scratches.
and new turn signals to top it off.

Shaping up looking good.

trunk stripes
 

I used a stencil kit from a resto company.
I dont think the kit was cut correctly but too late now.

Looks great to me. But I ain't even supposed to have them. And i am not a micrometer measurement numbers guy either.

Update on my project/career.lol
 

Trunk painted with grey/white spatter...$120 a quart...ouch.
Door and quarter glass is back in....not quite adjusted yet.
and today a realy cool guy instaled my headliner for a great price.
Tomorow i will call glass company to put new front and install rear.
BTW anyone use pilkington brand glass.
Also licence plate..tags and insured...wife took for test drive.
