This is MY 67 Camaro

[Sonar Chief]

Seems like when I think things are going well .... the ****e hits the fan. Well, since the last update, I got the holes drilled in the dash for the VA outlets. APITA cuz I had to buy two hole saws to get 'er dun.

Since then my AMD fenders came in, I was so focused on the external skin I waited 2 months to get a set with as little 'shipping' damage that I never gave thought that the fenders might BE STAMPED WRONG!!!

So over the weekend I put the fenders on and the driver's side fit as expected, not so bad, but the passenger's side didn't fit fer ****e. After gettin my OEM fender from the shed they didn't stamp it correctly. Go figure, it's AMD ****e Called my AMD rep and he compared his pass fender and it was the same as mine ... so I figured I might as well find out why it's wrong.

For your viewing pleasure ....










It seems the inner brace with the hinges attached was not held in the jig properly and it actually was angled almost 3/4 inch high over the rest of the run to the back of the fender, so I cut out the welds and got her straight over the run.

I didn't have any weld thru primer tonight so I will get some tomorrow. Trying to get the front end together asap to get her to the body shop for some 'front end alignment ' the My Body Man is going to get the doors and the fenders/hood lined up and ready for final bodywork ....

Seems the snowstorm is going to hold things up some which works in my favor, who'd thought that they would stamp them wrong ...... oh yeah,me!!!


Thanks for looking ...
