Wide 69 Gas Door & Hardware
Ok, I'm a little bored............
I'm going to restore my door and hardware. My car came thru with the 9796376/GH wider plate (as did my Dad's 69 LeMans that he purchased new). It looks like the washers and the threads in the screws have hung onto a little of the original plating. It should be silver cadmium as I understand it, and that's what it looks like. Anyone disagree? I have never paid much attention to this before, but the plate is painted silver on the top lip/edge. I can scratch this off with my finger nail. It is not paint from license plates as it extends over the top of the door--it is painted. I plan to duplicate this. Has anyone seen this done from the factory? I don't know when a switch was made to the more narrow door--probably different at each factory. I also included the replated license plate light/bolts. I should have done the door hardware at the same time, but missed it.

Never seen that before but I will start looking at all my cars, my 69 GP has a handle on it and I've seen that on a GTO once in a while. I'll check my cars this weekend

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
