My painter is getting down to the final strokes before he puts it in the paint booth. I have 2 sets of fender extensions and I don't know which ones are correct. It's for a 67 RS. The only difference between the 2 extensions is the hole in one that is not in the other:

My guess is that the one without the hole is correct because I think it was original to the car... but I could be wrong.

My 67 RS/SS does not have that hole.

The Extention without the hole is correct.

Steve..no hole is correct. It may have been used for an aftermarket alarm key switch. It does look odd ....

Thanks everyone... I have so many parts and pieces laying around I can't tell up from down sometimes

Might the ones with holes be from a 69, or a non-RS '67? They line up exactly with the mounting holes on the (original) '67 RS fenders??? I guess I need to collect all my fender extensions, line up up, and see if you can tell me what I have. I know (at least I think I know) they all go to first gen Camaro's.

My 100% original '67 non-RS fender extensions have no such hole. In fact, I have never seen round holes like that on any first gen fenders or fender extensions. The holes for side markers (running lights, whatever) are rectangular. I think what you have there is a one-of-a-kind, home-made 'feature'.

Also, what happened to the hole on the bottom? Maybe somebody moved it up to the side?

What I hope the whole car will look like in 2 weeks:

It definately won't be a show car... just a driver. I expect about a 7/10 on the paint job, but it will do.

There's a bunch of pics here if you want to see.

Hey Steve - sorry I'm late to this (you should have just called ...)
As already stated, there is no factory hole in them - that hole is/was made for a popular aftermarket 'sidelight' available from parts houses in the early/mid 70's. I put them on a few of my cars 'to make them look more modern' ...
You can weld a plug in the holes to return them to original if you needed to use them.
"Jaun" looks like he's movin' right along :thumbsup:

I LOVE that color :yes:
My '67 SS coupe was Emerald Green w/Black top & interior - one of the 'purdiest' ones I ever owned.
I'll get that RS trim stuff over to ya asap - trying to finish the siding replacement and paint on the house before we get much more rain.
