The rockers and oil tank mount are fantastic.

Very nice as always, John. The little details are amazing and extensive in order to make this all work out properly. Keep up the good work.

The front fit was virtually perfect. Certainly no metal work needed, just a little filler will be necessary...a very little. My passenger door and fender sit a little lower than the driver side, in relation to the A pillar and this they expose the bottom edge if the glass. Ill post a picture. Once I finish fitting the fenders and the hood, I can decide if I will extend them to better cover the area. The glass is good. Will be a month or so until I get to fitting the rear.

I would extend the a pillar gaps, they tend to run wide.

Hi Mike! Thanks. Honestly, I haven't done a deep dive here, just a quick test fit. Yep, agreed the pillars need to come down to close up to the doors but what's interesting is that the glass seems to extend down further on the drivers side than it does on the passenger. The result is that the bottom of the glass is exposed on the passenger side where the drivers side is covered by the door and the fender. This is with a consistent 1/8" gap around the glass. First thought was raising the pass door and fender but the bottom gap is already about perfect and the body line is pretty accurate. Appreciate any thoughts...

I am building one of these cars as well , I had to extend the gap’s on the pillars to get it right on both sides , as for your windshield situation is the passenger door too low ? that seems odd.

I don't think so, gap is about 3/16" to the rocker and I already closed that gap by 1/16" when I added my rocker extensions. I will chase this a little more next week and let you know. Thanks.

Here you can see the fitment to the doors and fenders to a car that was painted about 18 years ago... We are removing the trim and will repaint the car and fix the A-pillar at that time for a perfect fit but we designed this to fit as well as possible for all cars and yes they are all a little different. Are you fenders or door factory? This car is all factory Camaro. You gap is the largest one we have seen yet.

So as you can see on a factory car they are just about even or as even as we could get them and not hit anything. We want the glass to be tight but can't be to tight that it hits the metal or you will break it. There has to be a gap around the glass or in flex you will snap it. Hope this helps somewhat. That car is going to be bad ass...

Thanks Chris! FOR SURE this isn't a glass issue....it's me! Glass is great! Just need to find the balance of the bottom gap and the body line a bit better I think. My pics show the glass touching the A Pillar....it doesn't touch, I was doing this alone and it just slid down a little. I'll redo these pics soon and show how well the glass fits.
