Default I made up my mind

This will be the new wackedvette tail lamp pannel. I did the check by phone today and orderd it. I'll still need the filler panel and bumpers.
I think it will look real good when im finished.

Do you have enough of your rear quarter panels to go that route?

Oh yeah, I'll need to make a couple adjusments ie: Bumper brackets, it took me 3 months just to figgure out what panel to use. I'll post pics of it when it gets here, it was shiped from Ohio. I should receve it by Thursday.

is that going on the body you bought or the one that's on your car now?
I don't know if it will fit the rubber bumper body without a lot of mods.

The 70 in the garage measures 56 1/8" just above the bulges for the rear bumpers. The bulges extend out to 57".
