Auto Body Specialties repair parts

http://www.autobodyspecialt.com/cgi-...&category=0068

All manner of rusted out area repair stuff.

In case y'all have not heard of this place.

I have not used them, and cannot review but I know others who have.

Looks like they're just a reseller. Prices are OK but not great.

The better patch panels are made by AMD and Sherman, with other manufacturers generally thinner and/or not quite getting the lines right. All wetherstripping is made by Metro and SoffSeal. I don't know who makes the bumpers but they're probably the same as offered by everyone.
I got a firewall drop shipped from AMD and it was fantastic.

I've bought from them. They have a large presence at spring and fall Carlisle, so I avoid shipping charges. They sell the same Chinesium stamped patch panels as everyone else. For me, it's the avoidance of shipping costs.

Same stuff everyone else sells. Real douche if you have any wrong parts or even want to exchange unused parts for other, even more expensive parts in my wholesale & retail experience. I would never buy another thing & I can drive there in under a half hour.

Years ago I did get what may have been the last rad sppt repair panel in existence from there but only because his relative that worked for another parts outfit went searching for it "in the attic"
