The top picture with orange paint is the number stamped on the block behind the alternator... I think that’s the “ pad “ your asking about...

Started replacing valve seals on the SS 454 after work... got 7 out of 16 done.. finish up this weekend.. had a little oil problem 😃....

Sharp 👍🏻..Love that color !

Wow! Fantastic job! .. good to see another Kansas City SS brought to life...

Will do 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Ahhh I have a die cast 71 that color I ordered off eBay.. nice.. I’m pretty sure this is the original bucket seats and they are in real good shape.. so I haven’t considered re-covering them with new material.. I like the original vinyl...really appreciate the info... Ron...

Thank you for the compliment,, not sure how to read the trim tag yet. Glad you can and did.. I kinda thought it was antique white at first but I wasn’t there :)... it does have buckets but they are not cloth . Suspected they are the original seats withe some type of tough vinyl.. the vinyl top could have been added later I suppose but then again I have no idea.. I like the sound of classic copper 67... I’ll check it out see what it looks like... and thanks for doing the research .. Ron

Thank you, same here.. looking forward to meeting Monte people like me and the show itself.. largest show I will have attended. . I go with no other expectations.. it’s a nice car , far from perfect but I have worked hard on it to look and run good.. Gets a new headliner this winter, valve seals after that.. it will be as ready as I can get it...we will need help knowing what and when to do things when we get there.. as the other first timers will too I expect... thank you again , see u in 7-8 months 👍🏻 Ron...

Ohhhhh thanks👍🏻. Have learned a lot on this club site .

Great !, thanks ripleydale, wasn’t aware of that method—-
