the one I had did not , It would of worked if I cut all the rocker off . but didn't want to cut any off under the quarter panel.   the car has no vin tag , body tag or title.  the vin tag in it now was put in by someone else.  they drilled out the pop rivets and put a tag in it , big 1/4" rivets . ( illegal) and 6 years ago I tried to get a title for it thru the state.  no go, because the vin plate was not the one for the car.  the state was going to take it and crush it.  but I took it to a friends farm and stored it there for 1.5 years in a barn.  the car they took was another rust out parts car no title.

ha wow, mine worked out cause i did take mine all the way off, so it fit no problems.....is the state allowed to do that? i thought they could just retitle it with a new vin if its messed up like that or something

something about the car not having the right vin tag and me buying a car with no title, is illegal.  the original owner needed to get a new title then sell it.   and yes the state can take any thing you have. ( land of the free) right? 
all in all ,  your screwing the state out of money. so they call it fraud.

Rick, I dont know if this is true but I was told the repop rockers are all for camaros, no firebird specific rockers and the camaro rockers are around 1 or 2 inches longer then the firebird rocker because it has shorter fenders so usually you'll have to cut it shorter if you usin it for a firebird. Could this have been the case?

[pat]

i think the rockers are the same for both cars

[y88rick]

doug, got your parts the other day. looking at your picture of your dash out. that rectangle part that is on the opening door of your a/c box and the one that goes over to the passenger side from the bottom of the a/c box in line with the trans tunnel, have any spares? I dont have either and been lookin through my parts trying to figure out what im missing and from what i can tell them two will complete my duct work.

[4SPEED]

well I don't no?  I got tons of that stuff,  Are you done screaming at me yet for cutting up my parts car. 

[y88rick]

ummm yeah I did the same to a very solid oaky car (79 ws6 4 speed t-top) this summer so i forgive you.
