Hi
Lets hear what went wrong with your panels, pls.
From whom did you order, what exactly didn't fit ?
Like I wrote, I am in for a new set for my early 68, but only want the best and have a guarantee of good fitment because I don't want to ship back & fwd overseas.
Thanks & rgds. Günther

Good work. I had issues with some parts from CA and they worked with me to satisfaction. The parts wouldn't fit and got a full refund.
Question, where did you get the steering wheel? I want to get one and also install the tilt setup

The tilt steering is from Flaming River Industries, #FR2001VTAEB. It was $529. The tilt steering was hard to install. I had to make brackets and had to weld them to the steering column. I also made an aluminum cover for the bottom end of the column to dress it up. It was not a bolt in project for a 68.

Mike, I documented some interior items and the outside mirror change in the middle 70's on 68's before the NCRS did. I noticed the differences and started collecting the data and the S/N on 68's. They claim the first door pull was used up to at least s/n 15,776. I found them up to 16,825. They claim after s/n 19,533 the second horizontal camaro handle was added. I found them starting with 17,846. This isn't exact, just the cars that I ran across in N.E. Ohio. But we had vettes from all over attend All Corvette Day at Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky,Oh. When I can find my info, I will have to share it with the 68-69 NCRS guy. Most of my information was published in the April 1977 issue of Vette Vues magazine.

Hi
The ones I kept I bought from Al Koch
Thanks, that helps for my decision.
I am anyway overall happy with AlKnoch parts , carpets, seat covers, seat foams etc. Great stuff. Great that this is still available for such old cars.

....my old Silver '68 March 19th #14222 didn't have the "extra" horizontal pull, but my May 6th '68 #18434 convertible does.
