Default More quality control issues
Forgive me for bing bitchy and with recognition that this hobby is more about making things then bolting things together that you take out of boxes...

But when you spend good money on things that simply don't work as delivered its bullship ... See what I did right there

In this case vintage airs bracket .....designed and delivered as an assembly isn't even close and theirs not enough material to alter the holes to hack it together.

just pissed that everything I touch is less then what it should be... These are not cheap parts fellas ...

i maybe numb to it but a hammer adjustment seems to be the norm for every damn thing. Made in the USA right?

Your used to it I guess but I hear what you are saying... I was able to finesse this together with some tweaks and bends but not over ally impressed with VA at this juncture

It just seems to be a fact of life when dealing with cars when modifying them. I think it's to the point where if you don't go numb to it, you'll go crazy. Don't let it get to you. Just use it as a reason to buy more tools and equipment and do it yourself. That way, you know who to bitch at, lol.

Good luck!

I've started working on my 2010 Camaro and being honest the fit and finish on the parts for these cars is light years better them on my 70. So far everything has been a bolt on. It's also nice working on a clean car and not having to wash my hands when I want to eat the chicken sandwich on the bench.
