Kevin, I found a flaw. The cowl tag doesn't have that horrendous overspray on it! It's supposed to look awful to look original...
Over restored
Here's my factory trim tag monstrosity:
Kevin, you did right by keeping it tidy. Some of the factory firewall markings could be from one hungover assembly line worker to another that it is time for a smoke break. You never know... I have seen quite a few with C2 written in grease pencil.

Kevin, on the firewall I noticed you are running the washer lines together on the driver's side, which is how the 1964/65 style was routed. 1966/67 were run separate, as shown below on a '66 Beaumont. The metal nozzles actually pierce & run through the weatherstrip on the firewall top.
yep, good eye, since we are using the 65 motor i prefer the way the 65s hoses run. there will be lots of little things i will have to do when the experts put their eyes on it
What a car is right. And what a project. I havent been in here for very long but looking back through the timeline on this thread it goes to show that patience pays off in the end. Beautiful job and beautiful car. Slightly jealous is an understatement
Ill start a build thread on the 67 SD when I start. Itll be arriving to my shop this Sunday. 30 years sitting at my dads so time to get going on it. In the middle of getting the 67 Chevelle SS done too. I need a clone

I must have missed something. I've seen lots of GM of Canada cowl tags. In all sorts of conditions. The picture you posted of your cowl tag isn't that bad. I've seen a lot worse. Your cowl tag maybe a bit more oxidized then some. But its still pretty easy to read. Nice 6 cylinder coupe. Solid Cypress Green with the Black cloth ad vinyl bench seat. Love to see more pictures of this Canadian Malibu coupe.
