Is there supposed to be a gasket, or seal, between the front fender and the fender extension (headlight frame) on a 70 Chevelle.

Nothing but bare steel. No gaskets.

Wellllllllllllll, that's what I THOUGHT! But a guy (you know, the neighborhood expert who's never owned a Chevelle, much less taken one apart) is telling me there is supposed to be a thin gasket between them.
Thanks!

I believe there is a gasket for the rear taillight section on the '68-'69 Chevelles (If I got my wording correct!). Maybe that's what your local "expert" is talking about :D

Either way, RixLS6 has you covered..

Unless he's a Mustang guy....they have chit like that...

Yes there is


Simply do a search on eBay under "Ultra-rare, early build '70 SS-454, NOS, NIB, COPO-MOTION-BALDWIN, Concours, Special Order, rare-factory headlight frame gaskets"

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D

And 1970 Dodge Chargers :).

If you don't really like this "expert" all that much you could always say,

"Yup, you're 100% correct, but no one makes them now. You have to find NOS and quite frankly, I am up to my eyes in this project, work, etc. and don't have the time to invest in that right now.

Any chance you could help me look for them?" :D

you get those "experts" now and again.......years ago when I was just starting to learn about Chevelles, I was looking for a set of big block exhaust manifolds. A guy at a swap meet had a pair with the Smog holes. I asked him how do I know if I need the ones with or without the holes. He asked if I had a 4 speed car and I said yes and he said you need the ones with the smog holes. I'm sure if I would have said no he would have said the same thing.

Some 1st gen firebirds and 68-69 GTOs without the hideaways used these too, IIRC.
