Can i buy this peice of sheet metal ??
« on: December 23, 2021, 09:00:07 AM »
Hey everyone, we are working away on the restoration of my 1980 francesco red Trans Am.
We came across this brace for the door striker.
The driver brace is in really bad shape and will need to be re-fab.
Can i buy these already made?
Thanks




PS.  The picture is not from my car.

Just re-posting to check agian.
I am assuming at this point that you cannot buy it?
Thanks

When you buy a full rear quarter panel you get the door jamb included. But is that even what you want or are you looking for the re enforcement behind the sheet metal. There still are some wrecking yards that specialize in camero and Firebird parts. Some of them offer shipping so that would be where I would check.
1973 T/A 455, 4 speed.

Where in the world are the nuts on the firewall under the hood to remove the heater box!

I've not seen them reproduced. Can you get one from  another car?
