My rules for the Camaro search were it had to have factory air, and no rust ( within reason ) A guy stopped by our shop to show us his almost done 67 Camaro, fenders door skins ,quarters,pans and roof skin. The sucky part with all that is when your done, most of your car is made in Taiwan.
So don't buy junk patch panels.................... Most are stamped over seas but thankfully the dies are updated or have been redesigned if you go with known good quality manufacturers. Tabco, last I knew was still made in the USA and fitment on their stuff was top notch.
