'63 Rear Exhaust Filler Panel

[Irby G.]

Just a quick question about the filler panel...is this the correct (judgeable) filler panel?

Does anyone out there make the correct one? How about this one?

I think the original parts will fit better then the reproduction stuff. I had a reproduction piece on my car and never liked the way it went in.
Used ones come up on ebay regularly. It is difficult to tell exactly what year they are on ebay. Most of the sales just say 63 - 67 however 63 is a one year only part. I found an original on ebay last year. It did require some repair but came out looking good. When I stripped all the old paint I found that it was originally my Daytona Blue color. I wonder if I bought back my old exhaust panel?

Re: '63 Rear Exhaust Filler Panel

there are three varieties of c-2 rear valence panels, 63 only with small opening for exhaust bezel, type 2 is for 64 and 65 vettes with larger opening for exhaust bezels which attach it to the panel with three trim screws and finally the 66-67 critter whose exhaust bezel is chromed pot metal with three studs to attach it to the panel. mike

What is the diameter of the hole in the 63 panel?

That one is as correct as it gets for aftermarket.
