First-generation Camaro restoration sheet metal spans roof skins, trunk floor pans, and reinforcement kits—all available as direct OER replacements for 1967–1969 model years. This reference covers fitment, specs, and part numbers so you can identify exactly what your car needs before ordering from Classic Body Parts.
Camaro restoration sheet metal: what’s available for 1967–1969
OER produces the primary sheet metal line for the first-gen Camaro platform. The catalog breaks into two categories: roof panel skins and trunk floor pan kits. Trunk kits come in Basic (no reinforcements) and Deluxe (with reinforcements) configurations, and the 1967–68 and 1969 model years each have their own part numbers due to differences in the body structure.
The roof skin fits all Camaro trim levels—Base, RS, SS, and Z28—as well as the Pontiac Firebird variants on the same body for model years 1967 through 1969.

Roof panel skin: EDP vs. weld-thru coating
OER offers the 1967–1969 Camaro roof panel skin in two coatings. Choosing the right one depends on your installation method and paint schedule.
EDP coated (SKU 7585083-OER) — $224.95
Electro-deposit primer (EDP) is applied by submerging the part in a primer bath, producing a uniform coating across all surfaces including recessed seams. EDP provides good corrosion resistance from the factory and is compatible with most topcoat systems after light scuffing. This option suits restorers who plan to weld the skin and then apply full seam sealer and paint over the primed surface.

Weld-thru coated (SKU 7585083W-OER) — $269.95
Silver weld-thru primer is formulated to remain conductive through the weld nugget, protecting the metal at the joint interface where standard primers would burn away. This is the preferred coating when corrosion protection at the weld seam is a priority and the outer surface will be fully stripped and refinished. The weld-thru version ships at 52 lb versus 60 lb for the EDP version—a minor difference likely attributable to coating weight and packaging variance.

Roof skin shipping notes
Both roof skins ship via truck freight due to their size. The EDP version boxes at 10 × 60 × 72 in; the weld-thru version boxes at 61 × 57 × 9 in. Plan for liftgate delivery if your shop doesn’t have a loading dock.
Trunk floor pan kits: Basic vs. Deluxe, 1967–68 vs. 1969
The trunk floor pan kits are split by model year because the 1969 Camaro body has different trunk floor geometry than the 1967–68 body. Using the wrong kit will cause fitment problems at the flanges. Confirm your model year before ordering.
Basic kits (no reinforcements)
The Basic kits include the trunk floor pan sheet metal without the reinforcement stampings. These suit builds where the existing reinforcements are still structurally sound and only the floor skin itself needs replacement.
- 1967–68: 1967–68 Camaro basic trunk floor pan kit — $288.95 / 40 lb
- 1969: 1969 Camaro basic trunk floor pan kit — $271.95 / 58 lb
Deluxe kits (with reinforcements)
The Deluxe kits add the reinforcement stampings that tie the floor to the surrounding structure. When corrosion or collision damage has compromised the reinforcements, the Deluxe kit is the correct choice—replacing just the skin and leaving deteriorated reinforcements in place produces a structurally incomplete repair.
- 1967–68: 1967–68 Camaro deluxe trunk floor pan kit with reinforcements — $419.95 / 40 lb
- 1969: 1969 Camaro deluxe trunk floor pan kit with reinforcements — $369.95 / 66 lb
Note that the 1969 Deluxe kit (R8503-OER) weighs 66 lb versus 40 lb for the 1967–68 Deluxe kit (R8501-OER). The heavier weight reflects the differences in the 1969 trunk floor structure and the reinforcements included with it.
Installation overview: trunk floor pan
Trunk floor replacement is a cut-and-weld operation. The general sequence applies to both Basic and Deluxe kits:
- Document and remove interior: Pull the spare tire, jack, trunk mat, and any sound deadener. Photograph the original construction at all flanges before cutting.
- Mark the cut lines: Scribe cut lines inside the original factory spot-weld flanges so the new panel overlaps properly. Do not cut into the quarter panel or rear body structure.
- Drill out spot welds: Use a spot-weld cutter to separate the floor from the flanges without damaging the surrounding metal. A panel flange tool helps pry the layers apart cleanly.
- Remove rust and prep flanges: Wire-brush or media-blast the mating flanges. Any rust left under the new panel will migrate through the repair.
- Dry-fit the new pan: Confirm the replacement panel sits flush at all flanges before applying any adhesive or weld-thru primer.
- Apply weld-thru primer to bare flanges: Coat all bare metal mating surfaces that will be hidden by the weld joint.
- Plug-weld or MIG-stitch: Weld the new floor to the flanges using plug welds through the original spot-weld holes or a stitch pattern. Work in short passes to manage heat distortion.
- Seam seal and coat: Apply seam sealer to all interior joints, then coat the underside with a corrosion-resistant undercoating once the welds are ground smooth.
For factory reference on weld specifications and body sealing procedures, consult the original GM body service manual for your model year.
Installation overview: roof panel skin
Roof skin replacement is one of the more demanding Camaro sheet metal operations because panel alignment is visible and any distortion from heat is difficult to correct after the fact. Key points:
- The skin attaches at the windshield header, rear window opening, and sail panel flanges. All three must be straight before the new skin goes on.
- Choose the weld-thru coated skin (weld-thru roof skin) if you’re concerned about corrosion at the hidden weld flanges, particularly at the front and rear headers where moisture collects.
- Use heat management techniques—copper backing bars, skip welding, and planishing between passes—to minimize oil-canning in the flat center section.
- The EDP coated skin (EDP roof skin) is ready to prime and paint after welding; the weld-thru skin will need the outer surface etched and primed before topcoat.
If your car needs additional body structure work beyond the panels listed here, check Classic Body Parts for Camaro quarter panels and Camaro floor pans to complete the repair.
Frequently asked questions
Do the 1967–68 and 1969 trunk floor pan kits interchange?
No. The 1967–68 kits (R8500-OER Basic, R8501-OER Deluxe) and 1969 kits (R8502-OER Basic, R8503-OER Deluxe) are specific to their respective model years. The trunk floor geometry differs between the two body generations, and using the wrong kit will result in poor fitment at the flanges.
Which roof skin coating should I choose—EDP or weld-thru?
Choose weld-thru (7585083W-OER) when protecting the hidden weld joint from corrosion is the priority and you plan to fully strip and refinish the outer surface. Choose EDP (7585083-OER) when you want a primed surface ready to topcoat after welding with minimal additional prep.
Do I need the Deluxe trunk kit or will the Basic kit work?
If your existing trunk reinforcements are structurally sound and free of rust, the Basic kit is sufficient. If the reinforcements are corroded or damaged, replace them at the same time using the Deluxe kit—patching only the floor skin over bad reinforcements produces an incomplete repair.
Does the roof skin fit the convertible?
The fitment data for SKU 7585083-OER and 7585083W-OER lists Camaro Base, RS, SS, and Z28 trims for 1967–1969. Check the fitment tab on the product listing at Classic Body Parts to confirm compatibility with your specific body style before ordering.
Does the roof skin also fit the Pontiac Firebird?
Yes. Both roof skin SKUs (7585083-OER and 7585083W-OER) are listed for the 1967–1969 Pontiac Firebird, including the Base, Sprint, 400, 350, 350 HO, Trans Am (1969), and HO (1967) trims.
