Has anybody used Cars Inc. sheet metal here? I have a solid texas 70 Chevelle, but almost all the panels are beat up beyond repair. I like that the cars inc stuff is made in the USA. But i want to get the best fitting panel possible, so if it means supporting china, I guess it's what I'll have to do.

If you do have experience with the Cars inc stuff please let me know which body panel you used and how if fit.

I did do a search before I posted, couldn't find much.

Thanks guys!

Thanks for the reply. I know they have parts for 66's now. I think they just added a bunch of sheetmetal parts to their line.

Anybody else have any experience with them?

I know they go to a couple of the local shows. If you call up before hand you can pick your parts up at the show and they also give you a discount I believe.

I bought their quarter panels for my '72 and the fit was horrible but I suspect the repro stuff is all the same Chinese garbage no matter where you buy it.

How long ago did you buy the quarters? All the cars stuff is supposedly made in the USA.

The website is "made in the USA!!"

As far as I know, There are only two Co's "manufacturing" these parts. Goodmark and Dynacorn. Its hit or miss with the panels. I got floor pans that were "made in USA. but my rear section, door skins and rear window panel, have "made in Taiwan" stickers on them.

very impressive thickness with the tri five stuff I saw at Carlisle. Didn't see any Chevelle parts though

Goodmark does not make any sheetmetal they are just a vendor...Golden Legion, Dynacorn and Jess Lai are your biggest companies popping sheet metal.
