Mitch, did the fuel line being pre-installed give you any issues as far as in the way when you mated it back up to the subframe?

Such a beautiful car. I remember when you were looking for measurements on the RS lower trim holes. Looks like it came out perfectly.

Yes, drilling holes in a finished body is good for a pucker moment.

These are the dimensions I had in the original quarters before replacing them. Turned out to work real well. By feeling the backside it was apparent I could move the front clip forward an extra 1/2” so there was less cantilever of the trim. any further forward gets into multiple layers of steel for the door jamb structure.

Also having the original door holes really helped locate the paint line and molding vertically.

I am sure you already know, but thought this might be helpful
1968 Z21 (*w/incl Z22) Wheel arch Trim.

GM rationalized (Deleted-Superseded) the RS Wheel arch Trim from eight part numbers to four, including these service instructions to modify the "Longer" Std trim pieces to the RS configuration.

This is for the "Fronts" I am sure there was a sheet for Rears at some point.

This is posted so others or you can refer to and maybe save a unneeded hole being drilled.

Keep up the great work.
