    I personally put 15" 5 spoke polished aluminum wheels on our '90 Century (fwd), along with Cooper Cobra rwl radial tires. It was as close as I could get at the time to a Torq Thrust look. This year Century vaguely reminds me of the 66 - 67 A body GM offerings, on a bit smaller platform which was why we bought it when it was new. I'm working on a '90 Ford Ranger I dragged out of a field a couple years ago and plan on using 15"x7" aluminum 5 slot wheels on it. I'm old enough to not care what is in vogue and am reliving what I liked when I was young. Might even put whitewall 70 series radials on it, which would not have been my preference back then.

    Came across your channel looking for shaved firewall ideas on my 68 Camaro vert. Color me impressed. I truly appreciate your level of detail in everything you do and it has given me the faith and encouragement to do what I wanted to do. And luckily for me I started digging and found some remaining original repairs that I intend to fix properly. My father and I bought the 68 vert when I was still in highschool. We did a frame off resto replacing the rockers, quarters, and tail pan. I learned how to weld on this car almost two decades ago. Fast forward to 2023, I lost my father in January and managed to get the car back safe and sound. It was never quite finished though. Last it sat freshly painted with the drivetrain bolted up 13yr ago roughly. Time and mice have been busy accompanied by the moist climate in Michigan. So I’m restarting the restoration all over again from what was a custom restoration mainly factory based parts and turning it into a pro touring street car. I look forward to more videos from you and more helpful tips as well as ideas. Keep up the great work!

      I know some who chase original GM stampings for 60s muscle cars. Getting more rare and equally pricey. 🤪 Appreciate the comment. Thanks!

    People should stay away from cheap chinese reproduction parts what they save on part cost, they will spend more in body work and time. Now if you ever do Porsche's, the main supplier has quite a bit of disparity in their parts, you can get a 1/4 panel that fits well and spend 8h replacing and the next one will fit poorly and you'll spend 12h replacing. Jaguar parts are an other headache, from the same supplier, at the same cost and part number you can get a physicaly correct part and one where features will be missing and/or of an incorrect gage, sometimes they fit sometimes they don't. On the E Type convertible 1/4 panels the shape of the repop one is so different than the original one that you can't replace just one or the car looks crooked. When you do these jobs professionnaly try to make an estimate. You can spend almost twice the time with the same parts from the same supplier or manufacturer.

    I still have my 1967 RS, good news it was garage kept. The original 327 blew up in the late 70’s. All of us guys would take our cars down to the drag strip for some great fun. Today I’m replacing the parts and trying to get it back to original stock.

    Funny, peugeot and citroen body parts allways fits perfectly within 0.3 mm. Why not usa parts?😮

    I put a pair of skins on my 68 and they fit pretty poorly. They were labled Golden star. They had the window rail attached so maybe same as Dynacorn. That ended up being a nightmare because it was not in the right spot. Of course I found this out after paint when I was putting the glass in. The bumpers on the glasss would not clear the rail. It took some major modifications to correct that.
