Are you replacing both quarters or just the driver's side?
The light looks cool:thumbsup: |
AMD quarter not up to the task!!!!

The outside quarter channel doesn't match OEM (5/8"), actually decreases in width from front to back. :disgusted: http://imageshack.us/a/img513/5730/4ll1.jpg This is my GM quarter still on the car, notice the quarter channel! http://imageshack.us/a/img707/3792/rau1.jpg The very front is close .... http://imageshack.us/a/img850/9320/z0my.jpg This is the middle ... http://imageshack.us/a/img23/7602/jazk.jpg Back by the window. http://imageshack.us/a/img202/2517/vb91.jpg My car's stamping in door jamb! http://imageshack.us/a/img820/7863/ivev.jpg One of these doesn't look like the other! I have other pictures of this quarter on ImageShack that make me cringe ..... am I asking too much of this quarter panel? of this industry? Can someone make a quarter that looks like a 67 Camaro driver's side quarter, please call me! |

I measured my driver's side quarter and I get a consistent 5/8" all the way from the front to the back. That's with taking a tape measure and measuring to where the outside of the quarter starts to make the bend. If you want to keep that quarter, then I'd slice it right down the middle from front to rear and make it a consistent measurement, matching your factory quarter width.
As for the door jamb, what build date is your car? I know that my quarters are NOS 67 coupe quarters, but they are later build quarters. It's my understanding that the 67's had the full telephone receiver in the early run, but that switched to what the reproduction has later in the build year. My NOS quarters have the same jamb stamping as your reproduction. My original quarters looked just like your original quarters, so I wouldn't stress much on the difference in the stampings there. |

Did you look at my ImageShack page at the other spot that is messed up? Top of the door jamb where the windlace meets, think forward weather strip for the quarter glass just below the window channel????? Messed up!!!!! My Camaro is an early Jan 67 so that would make sense with the stamp shape on the jamb, didn't know there was a difference, thanks. I haven't even got to the trunk area yet, or the tail pan ..... waiting on the AMD rep to come and look at this quarter! |

It's good you have an AMD rep in your area that can come by there and check out the problems in person. Hopefully, they will get your problems taken care of. With my experience, nothing fits the car like the original part did. That's even with NOS parts. I've had to modify every panel on my car to get a better fitment and that even includes the original panels I removed from the car! |
The answer is
they are all like that!!! AMD says the 67 quarters in house have the same taper in them as the one I have here :headscratch: Great .... you'd think someone would QA the stampings every now and then, say every 50 quarter panels?
Has anyone had better luck with another vendors quarter panels for a 67 Camaro? Please chime in .... |
Maybe search or ask around on Team Camaros about different brand quarters fitment. Getting technical questions answered here seems to be hit-or-miss.
I would be more inclined to fix the problem with the AMD quarter you have, but that's just me:) |
