1971 Chevrolet Camaro Quarter Panel Replacement Rear Cowl
28 The window channel rot extended down to the upper rear valance, so we picked up a rear deck filler panel from Goodmark. Fitment was excellent and, best of all, this part is bolted in place and requires no welding. We love instant gratification. The part number is 4021-710-70 and it will set you back $59.95.

1971 Chevrolet Camaro Quarter Panel Replacement Spoiler
29 The back of the car was starting to look so good that we decided to dress it up a bit. We called over to Classic Industries and ordered up this short spoiler. At $119.95 (PN 3974538) it's cheaper than an OEM unit, but how well does it fit?

30 Installation tip: use a little paint on the tip of each bolt on the new spoiler to help mark where you will need to drill.

33 It wasn't so much that the chrome on the old bumper was shot, but it had been twisted up by the same accidents that jacked up the old quarter-panel and lower valance. A shiny new one was ordered up from Classic Industries (PN 3949772, $139.95). Fresh chrome just gives us a warm fuzzy feeling.

34 OK, the owner saw these tail lights on a customer's car and decided to splurge a bit since they look so darn good. These billet beauties are from Marquez Design and they do a ton to dress up the back of a second-gen Camaro. He also ordered up these slick stainless-steel door strikers since the original ones were beat to death and these would stay looking great for a long time.

35 With the parts installed and car shot in primer we decided to trial fit the new pieces. The fresh chrome, new spoiler, and stunning Marquez tail lights make the back of the '71 Camaro look like a show car, even in primer. Best of all, they all fit perfectly.

36 About 38 hours of labor after starting got us to this point. The back of the Camaro looks great and, when funds allow, Jon can tackle making the front look just as good. We're very impressed with the quality of the Goodmark panels, especially the full quarters. At this point there's been no real body work done to the second-gen and you can see how crisp the body lines are in the new panel.
