Just bought a hood that was suspose to be a goodmark piece,"made in Taiwan" on the box,and looks like someone stuck a goodmark sticker,on the box!If it was a goodmark wouldn't it be printed on the box(a goodmark box)?
I paid $299.for a cowl hood.

just because it was ordered and delivered from goodmark does not mean they made it in the USA. I ordered quarter panels for my 65 from goodmark, and when they arrived they have a made in taiwan sticker attached. I presume they don't have all the stamps yet to make everything in USA.

I have seen a lot of crap from Taiwan, but I have also seen a lot of sorry-looking stuff made here in the US. If it fits and looks good, why worry about where it came from? Getting a part your'e happy with for your Chevelle is like winning the lottery anyway :D

I bought a Goodmark hood that came the same way as you said.some Goodmark stuff is made in Taiwan. My hood was in a box that that said mare in Taiwan and only had a little Goodmark label on it.The new stuff comes in goodmark boxes.I think you got an old box.My hood fits perfect .

Guys, I live in Atlanta and know someone who works at Goodmark. Virtually everything in sheet metal does come from off shore - mostly Taiwan.

Most of it is sort of "ok" quality though, especially if it is the only source.

I need quarters for a 65 Elky.
