Title: 67 quarter trim panels
Post by: cascade-classics on January 28, 2020, 01:44:47 PM
Has anybody purchased the 67 68 quarter panel trim panels from California Pony cars?  They say they are fiberglass versus the molded plastic ones everyone else sells. Wondering how they look and fit compared to nice originals that are nearly impossible to find.

If Coralsnake does not come up with any, I have a pair that I will sell but they do not have the cutout for the roll bar.

Thanks....Greg.

Do you need early or late '67s.

Just in case you have an early 67 remember than the early ones are different than the majority of the others (later 67 and 68's)

Main difference is the cutout around the fold down latch area as we've discuss before

Here are some pics of the cutout area Jeff is speaking of.

another comparison, as stated above they were different on very early cars, the stamped metal plate (later version on the right) covers a single large opening that made adjusting the latch much easier - not many cars had the early version.

A smaller difference is that the cutout is smaller for the early cars that did not use the roll bar donuts compare to the larger cut out need to compensate for the added thick rubber donuts . A already cut out panel for a early car can be trimmed more for a later car but the same can not be said for doing that in reverse.

Or approximate serial number when they started installing them?
