I've called four different dentless repair guys, none will touch it. Jim will handle it at some point, no hurry.

Probably don't want to touch it Jody because of the real steel from back in the day. Those little suction puller thingy's most likely only work on the new car thing gauge metal. Not true, pure American steel from the yester-years. Just my guess.

Exactly. The metal is much stiffer than modern cars, you can't just push from the back side and pop these out, ask me how I know...

Not much progress lately as I still have home projects going on. But I have a dilemma. I was set on trying to match a color of a new El Camino I got to use for a few weeks in high school. The owner said he custom ordered it in a Cadillac color which I believe to be Nutmeg Firemist metallic. I found a Yenko nova in that color and the pics looked exactly like what I remember.



Since then I've come across this same car outside, and the color is quite different, and not at all what I'm going for.





Maybe it's just me but outside it looks darker and more copper-tinted. I've been searching brownish colors for a month and can't find anything like that inside pic. I sorta like this Mercedes color; I know it's different than my original choice but I like it, should look good with the black stripes:



So I'm now starting to re-think the color choice, and leaning towards something safer like a medium to dark grey. My first choice is still brown, I just love it, but the shade has to be right.

Like it on the Camaros, but not so much on the bigger Chevelle.
