Looks good.
You made a good save on those quarter panels, I can't even guess what it would have cost to ship all new ones.

I was stationed in Belgium for 5 years. Have you made it out to the All American weekend in Lommel?
I've got a friend (Peter) with a primer black 69 El Camino that lives near there in Neerpelt.

Hi Adam,
no i didn't went to Lommel (2much work) but the El Camino will be ready for next year....:)
It already was very expensive for the rear panel (but it was in the hurry) total cost was near 550$ with shipping...



Hi Gil,

Merci pour les compliments ;)

I will try to make some meetings next year, i'll keep you advised...
Not too sad to have your car so far from you?

Cheers
David

moldings
 
:mad:
i'm actually busy trying to fit the bed moldings kit that i bought from Ground Up...they are almost impossible to fit without modifying every single part of them ....so if i can give you a good advise: don't buy this kit !! :(

What or how do they not fit?

list
 
if you want details:
- the front bed corners: the part which goes behind the bed cab don't fit against the below rear window panel. You have to force them to fit.
- the rear corner vertical moldings : they don't fit the rear bed corners, they are too high, i had to redrill the holes lower.
- the bed rail moldings :
1- they don't fit on the new or old mounting clips, i have to cut a slice of the inner fixing portion.
2- the included mounting clips are too soft and they bend when you fit the molding. i used the old clips.
3- the front and rear of the bed rails don't clip over the front and rear bed corners, i had to cut them in the inside to allow the rail to come over the corners.
i haven't yet fitted the front of the bed moldings...so we'll see later...
i will take pictures....of that mess....

WOW! They really don't fit! That sounds pretty bad. Are they the only company that making the panels?
