[SCG] Re: Stock Question

[Garrison William-MGI0060]

Well,  I ordered one but I don't have an original to compare it to.  So,
I'll try to compare it next time I am at a show.  However, if they look
the same to Larry, I think that is quite an endorsement!  I presume they
were painted to match the foundation, right?  Would dealer installed
usually come with a black grille?  The one I vaguely remember was in a
'68 and it was painted the color of the foundation but also appeared to
be dealer installed because instead of using the "riser" card, they
pounded the sheet metal below the speaker enough so it fit flush
(ouch!).
 
The part that was really interesting is they also have the front speaker
grilles for a Camaro.  They look quite similar to my fuzzy remembrance
of the Corvair grille.  Not cheap, but when was the last time you saw
any (assuming these are the same)?

		Bill, 

		I don't know if the Stock group takes questions, but I
have an obscure one that I will ask anyway. 

		Is the rear speaker grille for a '66 Corvair the same as
a '67 Camaro?  The reason I ask is I am putting in a rear speaker using
the repo foundation from Clark's and need a grille.  None of the Corvair
vendors sell them (as far as I can tell).  I've not managed to snag one
at a flea market over the years (I have a few '65's, no '66s) and the
repo the Camaro vendors sell looks to me just like the Corvair grille.
I was going to fire an email off to the Corvair vendors suggesting they
look into carrying the Camaro grille - if it really is the same.  So, do
you know if it is the same?  Did the '66 and '67 Corvair use the same
grille (which means there is a much better chance the Camaro part would
be the same)?

		Here is a link to the Camaro grille
