I noticed in the photos that you have the same bumper brace in the corner of the trunk as I do. I was unable to find a repop 1/4 without the oval one welded in where our style brace should go. Also had no luck finding an original or repop brace. Did you remove the oval one to use your original on your new 1/4? Also have been told by some that their 69s came with the oval brace. Anyone have the oval one from the factory? Is this just Camaro influence in the repop industry? Are there two styles?
That bumper brace you see in the pic is original and no it wont be replaced, it will be reused according to the body guy. I also have never seen that same brace sold, just the oval shaped one.
