I own both a 95 Aspencade that was missing the right side battery cover, I decided to sneer at the ebay cotillion trying to hawk their inflated priced same panels and just bought a pair of Addon chrome panels, which imho look much better even without emblems.
And I have an 85 Interstate which is missing its left side battery cover, again its over $200 for that piece, I am making my own, screw the panel conglomeration.... opcorn:
So after its been done and we have in some fashion acquired our body panels what would be an effective theft detterant?
Myself I may weld a nut to the frame on a tab and then get a stainless pan head anti tamper capscrew that goes through the panel, you must have a matching bit to remove said bolt, but I would rather have a clean look on the panel, so I am thinking outside the box, even so far as to have a remote cable release in the luggage.
Anyone have a better idea?
And just in case one of you panel scalpers are reading this your glory days will end, some folks like me are investing in 3d printers that can copy these parts in abs, and we may flood the market with affordable body parts, so there, I have had my say on that issue.
