Hard to see the date codes on those quarters! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I have seen the goodmark '69 RS fenders, they really don't fit well around the hood, header, and valance. The grill inserts don't align with the curvature of the leading edge..

Well my car is a pretty decent Z-28 and I don't want to waste money on sheet metal and paint on something that doesn't fit well. Can't wait for the stock market to rebound. I am having a hard time figuring out how to pay for some of the things I need. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Thanks for the advice guys. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

Darren, I am pretty sure you will be happy with good used fenders and doors etc. I bought 2 R/S fenders and 2 doors from the LA. area. They were very good rust free parts. A few dents, but that is ok. I would say that the sheetmetal on my 1969 is near perfect and is all original camaro sheet metal. Except the quarters.(older NOS) My opinion is rust free parts and hours of block sanding. I don't mind repro emblems, but sheetmetal, I am fussy about. I don't like kit cars. I like the sheet metal to be able to tell me a story about hanging on a 1969 camaro some where in its life. It really does fit better than repro and some newer NOS panels. Just my observations.

If you want quick, look in Hemmings, call all the Camaro parts dealers, they might have what you need. If your looking to get off cheap, put an ad in your local paper. Someone has to have parts laying around.
Advertise you pay cash. It helps....Brent
