Early Camaros had problems with the hoods breaking off.  Part of this had to do with the hinge pin/firewall/cowl issues on the bodies.  The pins on the hoods received several changes to thicken and strengthen them.

Very early run Camaros used Blue Hong Kong glass(A).  Apparently US glass was not yet available.  This glass is always seen mated with an HK Interior(A) and was glued in place.

Late run Camaros switched to Heavy Chevy Glass, as the transition of the Custom Camaro to the Heavy Chevy happened in stages.
