When you talk about fit and finish on cars just a few years ago, they were atrocious compared to even the cheapest piece of crap of today. I work with late model cars every day and the fit on these panels is amazing, let alone the fact that they often have no adjustment! There is a 6mm bolt going through a 6mm hole on the hinge, that is it baby!

I took these photos of a virgin 66 Pontiac and the next batch from my buddies virgin '69 Camaro to show how these cars were built. This is all original stuff boys, the way it came right off the line at the plant just a few miles from my home for the Pontiac.

But check out this stuff!
