Well, i just joined the "been in an accident" club... http://www.chevelles.com/forum/mad.gif :mad http://www.chevelles.com/forum/frown.gif Some moron ran right into the back of my 70 elky while i was stopped in traffic... http://www.chevelles.com/forum/mad.gif http://www.chevelles.com/forum/frown.gif

Bumper is bent& all the chome cracked and popped off (re-chromed 2 years ago) Tailgate has a crease through the "SS" emblems, and a nice crease & in the center of the lower left...

I'm thinking about just paying the difference in the work $$ to have the body shop put a new 68(no B/U light) tailgate skin on instead of re-working the current one.

Has anyone else used the new REPO tailgate skins? Any comments on quality/fit finish?

How about the repop bumpers? Are they good?

Thanks-
Ben

I had an employee that used the repro skin without the reverse lights and it was of very nice quality. It installed easily and required no work beore refinishing. I think he got it from the El Camino Store, but I'll bet the other suppliers carry the same one.

1970 El Camino, licensed and insured for the first time since 1988, drove it down the block the other day, bodywork is continuing.

I bought a repo bumper from Goodmark. The fit was fine but it has some tooling marks that don't belong. For the money($200)I was happy with it though.

Elcaminos are special!
I'd rather walk around with a Chevrolet hubcap in my hand than drive a Ford
