Everything will be 100% A-OK. A responsible young man will be respectful of the car and everything else. I went to my Prom in a 1969 Camaro SS, I worried about that car more than my date.

I agree with Easy Mike and zwede. In my training years ago the last resort to adjust a panel was by "making it fit". I worked at a Mercury dealer and a new Cougar had wind noise on the left door. ...
