Hey Patrick, for those tags that are hard to make out maybe you could keep a piece of paper and pencil handy so you can lay the paper over the tag and gently go over the suface with the pencilto bring out those hard to otherwise read numbers/letters. I feel like a fool giving a tip to a pro, and it could be something that you already practice, but just in case I wanted to pass it on. Another great video and much appreciate all the hard work.

I wish that GM made the ZL2 hood and the gauge pkg std equipment and raised the price of the SS. With these 2 RPO's, it just makes the car. That pass door looks like a different shade of paint unless it's the lighting. I'm surprised that the people that ordered these cars new didn't want the gauge pkg or ZL2 flapper. With the ZL2 you automatically got hood pins. Hood pins did not come on non ZL2 hoods. Nice car, I wonder if the M22 has an overdrive unit mounted at the end of the tail housing due to the extra shifter leaver.

As is common with cheaper repro parts, the quality is lower. With the bumper, those sharp lines are harder to stamp, requiring more care (binder force & stamping speed control) to draw lines like that. It is/was common for special order items to come from a few select dealers as they took the time to learn how to use the special order system (e.g. Yenko). As he notes, the scarcity makes these cars that more desirable.
