Experiences during the restoration
Hi Guys,
first greets from me to you all. My Name is Michael and iam from Germany - Cologne. I've a 69er SB in Riverside Gold Black Interior.
Okay, after i bought my baby, i found out, the vette must have been red with red interoir.
But it has been nearly perfectly painted in Gold.
The interior has mostly sprayed black any time and cause of that, the paint is bad. Also anybody used sensless screws in the panels and destroyed them by this way... So i decided to replace them and bought some new parts(Is it allowed to name the company?). So long so good, until i fixed the rear quater panels. Now the nightmare begins. It just does not fit.
The ugly old one fits perfectly, but the new one ... horrible
And there is no way to fix the new part, i checked out everything
Its only a litlle better on the other side. A case for expanding foam ...
So my question is: Whats ur experience about that china parts and wich company has got the best accuracy??
I hope i havent done a lot of english mistakes
Thx 4 help and many greets

My 69 was once riverside gold and will return to that color in the near future.
Your car is a beauty!
So far I have tried a couple of vendors, I have sent a couple things back so whoever you use, make sure they have a good return policy because you are likely to get some crappy parts mixed in with the good ones. For the most part, I have been very happy.
