did you ever look at all those wheels. Two were bent and one of them were scratched to hell.....The rear of the rim was bent and not the front thank goodness

I am sorry for that trouble. Like I said those rims were brand new and never even mounted. I guess that means I will never buy anything from that expensive a$$ dude again!!!

The heater hose couplers only come in plastic that I know of, and you have to get them from the dealer. You buy them seperately or with the heater hose assembly. They cost about $20 a piece and requires a 3/4" fuel line disconnect tool. ORielly has the tool for $10 and it comes with several other, you should be able to purchase them from anywhere Sears, Autozone, Advance Auto, Pep Boys, and Walmart (I think). The tool is made by Lisle, part #37000.

thanks for the help!!!!

BTW that sounds like a nice camaro. I have a 67 that is getting a LS1/T56. that is the easy part, the qtr panels, floors, tunk pad, and DSE mini tub are the hard parts!!!

I did had to replace the driver side rear quarter panel and it was a bitch, the hardest part was lead filling all the seams. I could have used the expoxy filling but wanted something that would not come out, and lead was the way to go. I have notice Dynacorn has come out with a convertible replacement shell, this will be the next project I do it.
