Personally I find it annoying when guys will rip your car apart after all that work you have done because something like the body panels have big gaps. Well guess what? When these cars were made, some of the body panels WERE gaped large. Well I intentionally gaped the doors to fenders wide because I dont want to kiss the paint when I hammer the gas peddle.
Go figure.... and its not like big and ugly, just comfort for body twist.

and the opposite is true as well. Our '65 GTO is so tight between the RF fender and passenger door that it keeps the paint worn off on the fender. Been that way since new. And - speaking of twist - the car twisted enough upon launch that it popped the windshield out on one occasion. Fortunately, it was not broken and we were able to reinstall it there at the track. K

Keith, did Dad have any key comments when he poped the glass out of the old GTO on that occasion? I KNOW what my Dad would've said to me but he wasn't a racer.

Yah - I'm sure he had a few choice words to say.... ![]() I know it scratched it a little bit as it skittered across the concrete and into the grass. Other than that, they were able to pop it right back in and keep going and, as far as I know, it's been in there ever since. K
