Default Re: 69 Camaro Body in the Crate

There was some things about the body I did not like.

The metal convertible bows/top for instance. In several of the pics with the top up the curvature just did not seem right. It did not have that classic 67-69 look. Kinda like a cheap Ertl $40 diecast. The basic look is there but you know something is just not right

I also wonder about the final fit and finish. Hot Rod did their best to smooze over this and protect their advertisor. Go to Dynacorn's site under the "Joe Parts" Q&A. People are always complaining about the fit of the Dynacorn parts-even the stuff that has recently come out. For instance the mustang door shells they make are known in mustang circles to be horrendous. I have seen them in pics posted on mustang sites and "remedies" people have to do to make them fit. I'm talking mig welding on extra metal because they are shorter than the factory doors.

Joe Parts answer to them is always "We have not heard that before" (yeah right)or "one defective piece may have gotten through" etc etc.

I also saw the Dynacorns Mustang convertible frame rails on display at Spring Carlisle. The look was there as much as I could tell but man where they thin. After repairing the ftrame rails in my car I could feel that they were thinner.
