Well, after many years of having a painted shell in the garage, I've decided to get to work making a car out of it. This is going to take forever. I have yet to find a single repro anything that isn't off by half an inch! Going to spend a lot of time this weekend boxing up stuff I bought and sending it back because it not only doesn't fit, it's so far off, the only way to make it work is to cut off the original sheet metal and replace it with crappy, off by half an inch, repro panels. What a nightmare this is going to be.
That's not the correct attitude...buy a bigger hammer!! Haha, kidding of course. You're correct, some of the repro stuff is horrible. I will say, find a reputable supplier (i.e. NPD) and buy the "good" stuff. Also remember, they weren't perfect back in the 60's either. Looks like a nice ride and good luck with it...it will come together! BTW, what part of Mississippi?
I'm in the same boat with my car right now. Got an extra paddle? LOL.
