There are plenty more that are under construction such as Chad's and others. I don't think there will ever be a shortage of in progress cars. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Actually.........The Clips were correct but weren't Heat Treated and were dead soft ......they should have been Spring Tempered to work correctly.........Got more coming from a different supplier.......and I have my fingers crossed.........As usual a Simple thing became very Difficult.......Quality Control????

.......Quality Control????


Unfortunatly we (the consumer) are the only real forms of quality control when it comes to reproduction parts.I know I've harped on this many times before...It's all supply and demand...The sad part is..In most cases it does not effect the cost to make this crap the right way the first time around....Bad heat treating? I've worked in heat treating,if these are bad theres a few thousand that are bad as well.... their often treated a barrel at a time.Has anyone found a good repro part? Does it work without modifications right out of the box? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Ken, I hear your next project is a repro Camaro... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif
