Im going to use these from Billet Specialties. It seemed the easiest way and it keeps a mechanical feel to the engine bay with finish bolts. My opinion atleast.

nibs · 03-02-2012, 12:23 PM

Very nice stuff Mike! I am definitely using these as ideas.

**67cheby** · 03-02-2012, 12:37 PM

thank you Dino and nibs !

I like the filler panels in there, but think you should remove that corner fender brace and either incorporate something into your new panels or make one that fits with them. Maybe you could remove it and use a small ell piece that would take its place and still function for support. Could probably run without it all together.

Replace it with a custom piece that has holes. Three of them two sizes. More bondo practice ! Ya know!

watahyahknow · 03-02-2012, 12:53 PM

im startng to wonder if i actually need sloshtubs , maibe i just make a suround from a rubber fender suported covered inside the engineroom and do the rest the same way like you did with the radiatorsuport , all straight and angled out of rolled and dimpled pieces
i would even have space to put away a simple plastic and ugly washertank batteries fuses and stuff like that between the paneling and the actual fenders and use dimples for a fillerneck or acceshole maibe this will become the new billet.......

as for mounting you might be able to use those snapbuttons they use on some jeans

you only need half of the hardwhare to make them work and might even be able to spotweld them in place

How do you pop it off with out damaging the panel? Assume the panel will be painted? plastic stick?

yeah pry them with a non marring tool or if you can get to them from the grille side push them

i seen them used for the doorcards , as long as its not intended to be pulled off and on al the time

the only thing you might want to look for is if they rust or not

nibs · 03-02-2012, 01:00 PM

do you have a bead roller and a break all at your garage?

VA72C10 · 03-02-2012, 04:12 PM

Looking really good...although I agree with hgs.....I'd do something custom with the corner triangle at this point

nibs · 03-02-2012, 05:32 PM

You could just keep it simple and put a lightening hole and dimple it. It would look nice
