I have one of their hoods. I'm not impressed and wouldn't buy another one. I would be very interested if someone could confirm whether they are the same as the goodmark ones though. That being my next plan to get one that is straight!

They do not come from the same plant. Goodmark and dyacorn sell two totally different products. Seen the dyacorn quarters for a 70-72 chevelle not sweet. i have a pair of goodmarks on my 70 and they are an equal to nos metal in my book damn close anyway...Eric

They definately do not come from the same shop. Goodmarks american location in Ga. trial fits the pieces on donor cars making sure everything is cool before getting taiwan to stamp out a # of body parts. My vote for goodmark. At least some american craftsman have their hands in the pie.

I just finished installing a set of Dynacorn 1/4 panels on my project 66 chevelle. The ones I used are complete except for the upper sail panel. They weld in at the base of the sail panel area where the vinyl top trim would be. I am very pleased with the fit and overall quality of these panels, the body lines are correct, and the metal appears to be the same gauge as the original ones. Nothing beats NOS, and the new Goodmarks look great, but I personally have nothing bad to say about the Dynacorn panels I used, other years and parts may be a differant story though.

Mr Speed ..... I too was considering that same full quarter for my 66 but had told supplier not comfortable with quality after reading replies on this board , well he brought in anyway , I saw them yesterday I too was impressed with what I saw had them delivered to my bodyman for approval......I am told DII has improved their quality and are trying to regain customers..... apparently they are travelling to car shows doing a DII / Goodmark comparison to prove similar quality ....... pricing way better in my area. FWIW will see what my bodyman thinks .

I have some brand new DII fenders and they are very good, maybe not as perfect as GoodMark. But, everything lines up and they feel like the originals.

I have used both products on my 68. I went with Goodmark quarters because I heard they fit the best... I will confirm they make great fitting quarters.
Recently, I bought a set of fenders. Because Goodmark wanted such a price differnce I thought I would give Dynacorn a try. After a trial fit, moth fenders fit near perfect (still need adjusted) but the quality is great! I would recommend either brand. Ask ProfessorSS the fit between my Goodmark quarers and wheel wells, he'll provide testamony!
