I just finished aligning all my panels on my 64 Belvedere before final body work. It took a while but everything fits very well. Doug

Don't use More's Law; if a little bit is good, more is better and too much is just right... 2012 422 Allstars NSS Champion 2013 422 Allstars NSS Champion 2014 422 Allstars NSS Champion
