she's coming along nicely ! Who did you buy your panels from ? I will be needing a trunk floor too and mine is going to the bodyshop this weekend. I've been looking at OPG or AMD

 

[66138]

also it looks like you went with the long style waterpump ?? I'm doing the same

 

[66138]

so do what you like . I always thought the SS cars were body color and the Malibus were argent silver. I think I may go argent as my car will be turquoise of some sort

sorry I was talking the sail panel. I usually go OPG they treat me good. All the camino mldgs, grille were great exc for the eyebrow mldgs, keep your old ones and use the clips off the old ones and grind the tips so they dont wreck the new mldgs. Hows your bumpers ? Mine are iffy but I think I will try rechroming them

 

[66138]

Looking great Frank, you are way ahead of me! What wheels are those, size and backspaceif you don't mind ?

 

[66138]

Lookin great Frank ! Keep it comin !!

 

[66138]

sweet job Frank ! I have the magnaflo exhaust with issues too especially those tailpipes ! Gotta do something there and the main pipes don't fit the HPI frame kit so more mods there too! Keep those pics and articles coming ! we do read them you know )

 

[66138]

Thats good she sounds sweet, I'm curious for sure. I'm thinking I will get my tails made, maybe the whole thing too by the time I'm done here. What are you doing for the driveshaft loop ? I am impressed with my ididit column too, it looks like a nice piece. Does your standard steering wheel hub fit though ? Mine didn't, so I have to check this out too

 

[66138]

looking sweet Frank !

 

[66138]

Too bad Frank, I would have been upset too ! Not all repop stuff is bad though, I have some very nice dash pieces, moldings and emblems. I think the USA made emblems are outstanding. The grille is very nice exc the profile is a bit round rather than square corners on the grille bars. Maybe a big deal to some ?? I powdercoated my original just to see if it can be done just for the black area, and yes it can be done and looks pretty nice. So I may do my repop one so I don't have chipping and peeling right away ??

 

[66138]

I hope to as well but man I have a ton of hours to go now !

 

[66138]

Dang it Frank ! I hope you find a quality guy soon, you have been more than patient !

 

[66138]

The story usually changes when you get a chance to talk it out. Glad you are making amends with the guy and getting it going ! You guys will get it done I am sure !! I had some ups and downs with my bodyguy too but he was real good overall. My biggest issue now is the tranny from Keisler and my diff from a friend that is really pissing me off !! He's basically a good guy that takes on way too much, does not know how to say no and I am last !

 

[66138]

looking sweet Frank! You're going to pass me soon ! Marina Blue ?

 

[66138]

thats great Frank! Hope to see your progress pics soon! You will pass me soon, I am at a standstill with my time factor !

 

[66138]

commendable Tony , though commendable ! You only have your kids once, these cars come and go !

 

[66138]

Haha good on you Tom! My kids are popping grandkids now so it's not slowing down! Gonna be at the lake this summer?

 

[66138]

Here's the pics sorry i thought they were on my link. My car was obviously a late edition as it did not even have the top clip holes drilled. Nor did it have the top mldg. The parts car unfortunately is my CDN 396 car that donated the strips and it had the original headliner stapled to the top clips and the sail panel clipped and it laid over the headliner retainer

 

[66138]

Here's my sail panel going in, the clip holes drilled. Also a pic of an original sail panel

 

[66138]

wow beauty Frank ! She's coming along nicely now !
