General Discussion / Original panels? Sail panel seam paint crazing
« on: May 29, 2006, 02:32:51 PM »
Looking at another ebay auction
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1967-Camaro-RS-SS-ORIGINAL-1-owner-Documented_W0QQitemZ4643963751QQcategoryZ6161QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
The description says the car has all original sheetmetal. In the pics you can see that the paint in checked or crazed at the area of the sail panel/roof seam. This makes me wonder about replacement panel work.
The spatter paint that is NOT in the trunk also makes me wonder, but I don't know what a 40 year old trunk typically looks like. The spatter is clear on the piece that covers the fuel filler/trunk lock assms. Again, I wonder about panel replacement.
Is there history to say paint crazing at the sail panel is a frequent problem, even on original panels. I know my second gen camaro had cracking issues there.
Thanks for any and all comments.
