Darren, I also LIKE and AGREE with what youve done to make Tailpanel look Original.
I would be interested to read why those uncorrect tailpipes
are in use...and if something more original looking might be put in place??????

Your 70 Camaro FRIEND,

Chuck you nitpicker. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif There might be a few items that might be more important to return to original.. For instance.. Have you seen my hood..
