...CG, ..very cool old pic. I know in the Camaro circles, a lot love the '69, but 67/68's to me are one of the best looking cars out there.  |
Thanks Kevin. Seeing it mostly together and almost one color made my day.
Now with all the inner fenders, bits and pieces in place moved on to the stinger hood. This hood also fits the opening but is not as good, it’s going to take some work. We are looking at some minor dents and it’s a little tweaked RF and LR are lifted. Lots of folks assume that new body panels are going to fit perfectly, and I must say they are pretty good for the most part. Joe at Real Deal Steel suggests you plan on approx. 60 hrs. of additional fitment and panel work to prep for paint.
With that in mind, we’re ready for our 1st appointment (fitment & gaps) with a local body shop, Perks Auto Body & Custom. I’ve heard good things about these guys and they didn’t laugh too hard when I told them how I wanted to swap hoods and trunk lids for a different look.
They’ve got some cool projects of their own and are car/truck people. Check out the 70 K20 that’s getting close right now on their FB page the red is amazing up close. They are trying to have it ready for LS Fest West in Las Vegas next month.
