I'm interested in the front license plate bracket and maybe the front and rear bumper guards.
Thanks, James

My first 68 was a Deluxe and when it was stolen ICBC told me there were 10 in B.C. that was about 20 years ago.

Just a suggestion, before you toss out the fenders, save the front corner grill extension mounting brackets. They are only spot welded on. Nice to have for a full resto. Cheers (your pics reminds me of work, but wheres the rain?)

What all parts were you able to salvage? The grill, grill extensions, headlight bezels and emblems look to be in pretty decent condition. Did it have the original T-3 headlights. If so, save those. As I mentioned earlier, I'm interested in the front license plate bracket for sure and may be interested in the bumper brackets.

Why did you tear the clip apart? I mean they make great reference for chevelle fenders for a resto to convert them over. Another GTO guy tearing at a Beaumont. I'm going to find a 70 judge and cut it in half GRR! Paul.

Don't use those words Paul. Kevin wouldn't even save the bolts. I'm bringing my magnet next time and get them out of the floor sweepings.
