quality of metal of non-original manufacturers
quality of metal of non-original manufacturers
Hello guys!
I have Oldsmobile Cutlass convertible 1971 but I want to make 442 w-30.
So I want to make full frame off restoration, and for that I need a lot of sheet metal & body panels (trunk floor, both fenders, left quater panel etc.)
I see that there are several manufacturers that produce body pannels for my Olds. But who among them has higher quality of metal?
I live in Russia - so I have no opportunity to see with my own eyes by photos only - so I really need your advice.
Also small two questions: Now I see on sale fenders of only two manufacturers: Restoparts and Golden Star, so which one is better and maybe other better ones are sold?
I also need a hood: Glasstek is it the only alternative? (as I know Thornton no longer selling hoods)
