Default Different Body Lines In '67~'69 Camaro?

What all was switched up through the years for the first generation camaro? Any links provided to and just general knowledge that you know of? Just only wanting info on body style and nothing interior/drivetrain, etc.

67 had front wing windows
68 deleted wing windows and added side marker lights
69 added new sheet metal including wider fender flares and different body lines, and rear slanted air slots in front of the rear wheels

ya looks like i can't resist the '69 body style and how it sits... 68's aren't bad but don't really like the circular wheel wells

yeah the 69 wheel wells and body lines flow nice, and the body is 4in wider. the roof panel and rocker panels were the only exterior body panels carried over. the fenders swelled out more and the inner rockers made up the extra at the bottem since they use the same floor pans and outer rockers........ 67-8 had the same body panels but like stated above had the wind glass in the 67 and they added the side marker lights in 68. the rs grille(hidaway headlights) was the same for 67-8 models but the standerd grille was differant, with the 67 having optional round lights in the grille and all 68 except the RS had rectangular park lights in the grille. and the 68's had the wide chrome on the top of the door window felt area(the one thing i like better about the 68). thats all i can think of year modle specific. there is alot more that is specific to the rally sport, SS and so on.....

no too wide, the body is four inches wider so they would stick out two inches from the doors or overlap the hood by two inches. also a first gen f body would be a third gen camaro..........

sheetmetal wise the 67 and the 69 have nothing in common except trunk lid, rockers, and roof.

The hoods should interchange as well.

The hoods are not the same, but they are interchangeable.

Is there any way to do a hide away headlight set up on a '69 model? I love the look and I came across this '69 at a good price. Thanks, Preston

Also the 69 body lines came off the top of the wheel wells and went back, 67 and 68 didn't have them. Mine-
