Fusick Replacement Parts

Has anyone used replacement sheet metal from Fusick?

I am getting ready to order some replacement floor pans, and was looking for some input from someone who had used them already before I purchase from them.

Fusick is one of the oldest and best names in the Olds restoration universe. I would not hesitate to buy from them. I have bought much from them over the years.

Fusick is great to deal with but you can find the same panel for less money if you shop around

I also believe Fusick has great products. They are further away from you than TAMRAZ, who sells basically the same parts. You might get a break on shipping. Fusicks is in CT, Tamraz is in Illinois, just next state over. Maybe even close enough for a drive over to pick it up??

You can also look at Parts Place. They are decent

Like others say, shop around, there's getting to be more on the market nowadays. If you have a 'larger' order of 'stuff' it doesn't hurt to call them and tell them you want to give all your business to one supplier. Can they do better than their web price? I've heard from friends who have done this with other items. Might be worth a shot???

What I would do is call and find out who supplies the floor pans from each place.
Then ask what gauge steel it is and compare pricing shipped.

One thing I've noticed in this hobby is steel made today isn't as thick or sturdy
as steel that came in our cars. The repop steel parts are very cheap and flexible
from some suppliers.

My 2 classics endured a hail storm with ZERO dents. My newer Lexus......got murdered.
But the steel repop door panel I have on one is no where near the quality of the originals.
I'm convinced it's better to find OE steel then it is to buy repop stuff.
