More Notches

[Wayne W.]

Here are two pictures of the notch on the lower grille panel. The first shows the size and location. The second shows the flashing where the mold closed on the part. This proves that the notch was there when the part was made.

any original valence 64-65 notches out there?

Thanks Wayne.

So far no 63 notches are reported seen. 66-67 all seem to have them. One 65 has it. Any 64s? Does the car with the notch have A-C?

Re: More Notches

63 = no cut out
64 = no cut out, no A-C, StL body
65 = no cut out, A-C, , #014
65 = no cut out, A-C, , #227
65 = no cut out, A-C, AOS body, SB Dec64
65 = cut out, no A-C, AOS body, SB
66 = cut out, A-C, StL body, BB
67 = cut out, no A-C , , SB

I also have this request on the Corvette forum. I think the cut out started in response to a body drop problem in 65

What started my inquiry was a remark by a body man who teaches c2 resto at BloomingtonGold StCharles. He said BB cars all had the cut out. I think what he learned was the cut out (moulded in notch)was created in response to BB (body drop?) manufacturing problem.
