Re: Fix the old or buy a new?

I used a repro on my 68. Overall dimensions were pretty good, however it is not a bolt and go deal. Corners where it meets the fenders on top needed to be squared up, the four front bolt holes needed to be enlarged where fender attaches, and had some problems with the battery box holes.
Somebody makes a patch panel for under the battery, or you can fab something up for that area, its not real visable down there.
