i am getting ready to start changing sheetmetal on my 69 and would like some opinions on the different brands as far as quality and pricing . thanks Robert...

hello Robert,

My supplier carries many brands, but recommends Goodmark. My painter prefers Goodmark. I've read similar accounts here. If NOS is not an option, Goodmark seems to be the brand of choice.

If you are doing fenders and/or hood, be advised that there is more of a 'hog back' on the repro units than original. That is to say, if you put a repro hood with original fenders, the hood will be slightly higher in the center when viewed from the side of the car. Obviously, repro fender with an original hood will be high with respect to the hood. Anyway, mixing and matching front clip pieces will not work as we would like.

Take lots of pics as you progress.

Best of luck on your ride.

The repo sheetmetal is the same, just different labeling/packaging (Goodmark, Golden Legion, Dynacorn, OER).

The tooling is updated periodically, so the more recent parts are likely to be a little better.

Im waiting till 2020 when they can successfully clone panels like they do cows today.

Don't worry by 2020 you won't even be allowed to own a car....
