Aftermarket Body Panels

Misho · 12-24-2001, 11:04 AM

I was wondering if we could get some feedback on the best aftermarket body panels available on the market. So far I have purchased a lot of sheet metal and it seems that parts "Made in Canada" seem to be better built than the ones built in "Taiwan". I am looking for the best parts available (quality of bends and fit). Any feedback will be appreciated.

I have found that the "aftermarket" sheet metal is so-so at best. You have to be careful, some parts fit like they were made for a camero.

Never had any dealings with Canandian parts. Just Taiwanesse stuff. Always took lots of body work to use them. But, what is the alternative??? I bought a FORD deck lid, several years ago, while they were still available and had to massage it, bunches, to make it fit.
