Yes, resolved.... returned! Spoke with the DSE rep this past week and he assured me they will fit a 67 Camaro, I will order DSE mini tubs this week!

I am making progress on the roof, I thought I could get further than I did this weekend making this dang corner but this is complicated , or I am really slow.

Anyway, the AMD roof front corners were crap, picture 1, and the roof line didn't follow the molding worth a crap .... so fix it! Easier said than done follow along with the pictures, making the roof line follow the molding and then making the corner piece in 3D.


AMD corner .... crap stamping!

Working the roof line.

Three piece to make this dang corner PITA!!!!!

Clamped in place .... getting there!

Hopefully, only a couple more hours, days? Some hammer dolly work and then finish the welding ... then the OTHER SIDE!!!

Thanks for looking...

With the DSE tubs, you will still have to make a filler panel to fill the void on the driver's side tub caused by the tub being made for 68-9 Camaros and not 67's. It's simple and I'm sure you will be able to handle it

It sucks having to do this much fab work but my AMD corners were off but probally not that bad,I am thankful that at least there are parts available or we would not have this enjoyable and expensive hobby

Thanks Wayne, you should know I would already be on top of that ... I just wished I didn't have to open up a can of worms every time I touch something.

I am all ready for that ... as long as they fit like they say this should be a piece of cake, round two

I wished they weren't this bad either ... sometimes it makes me wonder if they have ever seen a 67 Camaro, really

Got them Wednesday ... now everyone can get closeouts for their non staggered Camaro, thanks for the service and I'm glad I could be part of the solution


Wished I could cut stuff like this ... quality fer sure, Chassisworks.


This is where the closeouts go if you're wondering ... drivers side shock tower!
