Obviously, I'm no tooling/Die/sheet metal expert...
But it just doesn't seem right! 80% of the panel is already built and tooled
Change the double C impression next to the door to a single reverse C and you're identical all the way back to the marker light! That's about the last foot/ 18 inches of the panel!
Change the marker light and then the tail panel area to scuplt to the 70 Quarter extension and rear bumper and your're done!
Again not an expert by any means... But why do they have to completely pay to reinvent the 80% that already exists?
The 68-69 uses the same wheel well, trunk extensions and rear windshield cowl... They all use the same door! Heck even the same vinyl top moulding on the sail panel and the same Wheel lip moulding fits... (Same rear wheelhouse) etc.
I just don't get it!
They spent all that money on the 68/69 and NONE of it is useable on the 70?
Nothing transfers cost wise?
Can my luck be any worse!
