Hi Guys,

I'm about to buy a black 69 Camaro that has already been restored with all new sheetmetal and a 350 crate engine, 5 speed Richmond, 4 wheel disc brakes, A/C, autometer gauges, AR torquethrust wheels.
There are a few things I would like to change to it and would like your advise on what would be the best place to find them.

• Front and Rear bumbers are original but are painted black, but I would like to go back to the Chorme ones. There are a lot of sellers in the web anouncing that theirs are the ones with the best quality. What should I stay away from and what do you recomend?

• Also I would like to change the inside door panels....any sugestions?

Tks in advance for your advise.

 

try to find an original set and have them rechromed
buy preassembled inner door panels not the do it yourself crap!!!

 

TKS man!!,

With the bumpers my problem is that I'm in Panama and there are no good shops that could rechrome the original ones, so it will be easier to get new ones. Are any aftermarket bumpers any good......any one better than the others?

 

Just bought a set of aftermarket bumpers. The front fit is real nice. The rear, however, im having trouble lining up the bracket holes and the bumper holes. The chrome is nice on both.

 

id shop around. my 68 has a set from npd and think they are nortons. on my front bumper my chorme is already statring to bubble and the bumper is only a few years old. i dont know who makes a good aftermarket bumper but dont go with norton. for door panels do you need standard or deluxe? if you dont want a headache buy assembled but it you door panel trim is in nice shape and you want to save some money buy bare and swap the trim. i did that on my 68 had a little trouble but mainly because my car has a factory remote mirror i cut that hole wrong.oops

 

Tks!!

Guys, any other advise on aftermarket Bumpers?
I hope to have the Camaro by this wednesday, so I'll post some pictures and would like to hear your comments on it.
