3400 lumens to be exact!!!! OK, this isn't my Camaro but I did have to use a crimping tool that I bought for the Camaro to do Weatherpak connection to get my new LED headlight wired onto my XR650R (that's my other addition ) See the street legal kit only had a H4 55w light and it sucked so .... go big or go home, how about 3400 lumens outa of 4 leds that only measure 3X3" ? That's what I said!!!! So I had to go for a ride around the reservoir, little chilly here after the sun goes down, man what a difference .... 3400 lumens is a lot of light
So, my driver's side quarter came in but I had to get the bike put back together to get that project done and outa the way for the camaro .... weekend work
Pictures .....
Now I can do all the pins I need on the Camaro too 3400 Lumens outa a 3"X3", that's awesome!!!! Can you say ... light for close to 300' ? Someone has a degree in Origami to package this!!!
Anyway, bike is done for now .... time to look over that quarter panel tomorrow!
Are you replacing both quarters or just the driver's side?
The light looks cool
I am replacing both quarters .... as soon as I get a quarter that resembles the quarter that's on my car, which the AMD quarter does not!!!!!!
The outside quarter channel doesn't match OEM (5/8"), actually decreases in width from front to back.
This is my GM quarter still on the car, notice the quarter channel! The very front is close .... This is the middle ... Back by the window. My car's stamping in door jamb! 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.

Jeremy ... I measured my NOS quarter and I get a consistent 5/8" also, this AMD starts just at 5/8" and tapers to 3/8" back by the window, that's crap stamping. The other option is to keep my window lip and cut in the AMD under that .... what APITA!
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!

I see a little bit of metal missing in the jamb where the windlace meets, but other than that, I don't really see anything wrong with the AMD quarter there. I'm not there to see them in person, so its difficult to tell. I'm aware of the problems with the quarters not fitting well in the trunk channel and around the tail panel, but don't recall ever hearing anything about poor fitment in the door jamb area.
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!
they are all like that!!! AMD says the 67 quarters in house have the same taper in them as the one I have here 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?
Nice! Who is this lamp from? One of my riding buddies has a 650R and has been complaining about his headlight.
Carl ... this is a Baja Designs Squadron Led Race light, read not DOT. I will ride on the street until someone stops me, I would rather be seen than pulled out in front of, been there twice now.... not fun!

AMD quarter not up to the task!!!!
The answer is
Great .... you'd think someone would QA the stampings every now and then, say every 50 quarter panels?
