thanks, i cant tell you how many times i thought i was done shaping it and then changed my mind. That itself took longer than the painting, the cutting, the bondo-ing. Its bitter-sweet. Making a Berger panel took 1/3rd the time. I guess maybe if i had the tools for it, or maybe if i can mold it, it would be much easier to reproduce. I guess I'll try making it again using that "stock comparison" bezel to see if it goes any faster this time. I am writing a "how to:" guide tonight for all those fellow camaro guys who dont have it as easy as those firebird guys.

thanks guys for the complements but i want to thank two others myself:

whitebird for telling me what a "din" was 1.5 years ago...

Ian Kee for putting the radio in. He charged half of what he should of, and i enjoyed picking his brain while he was trying to do work. haha.

by the way, the camaro lettering did not originally come in the middle, i personally think it looks better that way. better than off in the corner...
