Detail Item - Body Plug on Cowl
Can anyone tell me what is correct here for a '68 Firebird? The .5" hole to the right of the fender mounting point.

What I took out was a 1/2 rubber body plug like this.

Ok cool. I have those and was thinking that was probably it. If anyone else can confirm this, please let me know.

I think that 67/69 use a hard plastic plug and the 70 up use the rubber plug.

Yeah it was a hard plastic plug I pulled off the passenger side but the plug for the driver's side was missing. Lots of parts have been swapped on this car so that's why I wanted to check.

Should be able too. There is also one on the door jam behind the fender that needs a plug. I missed getting those in.

Ames has the correct plastic plug (I think). I am going to order two. Part number is FP525. Silverbullet I see the holes in the door jambs and mine are missing there too. Not Surprised. I measure those at 3/8" though whereas these are 1/2" so maybe the same plastic plug but a different size.

The one in the passenger hinge is for the antenna to get into the car right?
