69 Camaro outer wheelhouses
 
Could someone please recommend a brand of outer wheelhouse that will actually fit on a 69 Camaro. I have a pair I bought several years ago that aren't even close. I expect to have to do some tweaking to make aftermarket stuff fit but what I have now needs to go to the recycle bin! thanks

Welcome to the restoration/reproduction world! For the most part, all junk. I wish these people would figure it out. It costs the very same to make it right as it does to make it wrong!

Yea like you I have been into restoration for about 30 years and everything I buy I always wonder before I open the box what will I have to do to make this fit. The other day I stopped by the place that repops firewall pads in Mena Ark. and told the manager of the place the fuse block mounting screw holes were backwards in the pad for a 69 Camaro. He told my I was the first to bring it to his attention. They were backwards in 1990 and I was the first to complain! He said they would change it.
