I believe there are 2 different styles of the larger shields.
There is the smaller one that goes thru the frame rail. About 8" long and looks like a water trough. and then there is the larger one on 1970 ECS cars. Then there is another larger one on 1971 cars, shaped slightly different but it attaches and it's purpose is the same as the 70 version.
This is the 1970 only version of the main shield. I don't think I have the smaller trough looking one.

I know someone was repoping both versions of the larger one at one time, but I've not seen anything in a couple years on them.

Notice that the LA car's fender tags have a unique font and that two tag cars are not set side by side but on top of each other

A pic of the LA Cuda fender tag...I thought it was different that it had another tag upside down instead of next to it...anyone else seen that done?


By redwrydr at 2011-01-19




I'm looking at this on crappy laptop in an airport but, do I see n42 & &n95 on there with no n97? Dual tips & CA required only n95, and no n97, also mandatory in CA noise reduction? I may have those codes wrong, sorry if I do but that's what I remember them to be.

Mandatory noise reduction (with no tips) is only on E body 440+6 and Hemi cars

Ok, so those 2 engines only. So, no 6bbl/hemi e-bodies with n97 came with tips? I ask because my 6bbl b-body, with n97 (&n42) has them.

In these pictures above, for example the blue car and the tag on the green car. The fonts are different......The font on the green car are different than the blue fender tag. The fender tag on my car is exactly the same font as the blue fender tag. My fender tag looks old and the back side has the very old faded gomango color overspray on it. Havent I read before that there were different fonts on the LA cars?

Correct, but isn't one of the fonts not reproduced?

Is it just me or does it seem a higher than normal % of JS29 cars were LA built....

Does anyone have any survivor or "correctly" restored pics of what the underside of the cars (specifically E-body if possible) look like with the black dip primer and over-spray? Thank you.
