I am glad that I am helping someone out.  Send it back and get a refund.  Better to know now before it goes to paint.  Wish I would have known but we were the very first to find the problem.

Looks like the rear bottom corner is slanted kinda funny as well as the bodyline itself .

Like they got the measurement wrong so they took a guess and met the lines in the middle  :dunno:

Probably a fairly easy fix buy why would anyone want to spread bondo after spending $600.

Been almost a full year since it all began.  Here are some pics of the car with the stripes on it.

    Hey Greg--been wondering how things have been going ?  The car is looking really sharp  :wow:  Have you got it home yet. If not it's got to be close to being done.  Can't wait to check it out up close and personal and get a few pics   :picture:    Take care        Doug

Its been awesome to watch this one unfold!!  :thumbsup: did you find the "correct" fabric that goes between the window plug and the vinyl top? i never could find anything that was quite exact as the factory.  :dunno:

GREG...........Haven't seen or heard from you lately.  Looks like you are moving along at my speed.  Looking good. I still have the headliner and door panels to finish.  Exhaust, and a little tuning and then the tags........... :burnout: :burnout:   I've done a couple in the drive already!!!!!!!!!!!
That rear end shot looks like I have seen it before.  I have been on my project for 3 1/2 years.....Wife said it is time to finish.  I agree....

Ya, we are both close to being done.  Just need to finish the interior, and take out the instrument cluster to diagnose.  The smaller gauges are not calibrated right.  Upsets me cause it was sent out and paid big bucks to have calibrated, refinished, etc.  Will not name the company here but PM me (anyone) before you send out yours and I will tell you where not to go.  Other than that just needs some test miles and minor adjustments that will come up.

Test miles now but have two leaks, one in the PS pump, and the other in the trans pan.  More test miles to shake it down to come.

   That car is looking great. Can't wait to see it up close. When are you getting it home ? Wish spring was a little closer--that car must sparkle in bright sunlight.     Doug
