"Innovation Retrokits"
 
Seen a late model chevy truck on South 85 in Charlotte yesterday with one of these kits on it. Remembered the Episode on Truck U!
Thought it was pretty cool.

I agree with you fellas 100%! I personaly would not even think about spending that much money on something like that. Real deal is more satisfying to me. It sure did look funky from the side. No disrespect if anyone has a kit, but not my taste.

I agree with you all.. Although the red blazer is kinda tough looking.. I would take it out and wheel the $h!t out of it..

I wish these guys would put their time, energy, efforts and resources into manufacturing high-quality replacement panels for the '60-'66 Chevy trucks, especially hoods, door skins, front fenders, inner fenders, grille supports, cab floorboards and, most importantly, fleetside bed panels. I personally think they would make a fortune doing so.

The aftermarket panels, currently available, leave a lot to be desired, as far as form, fit and finish.

I agree. The only Fiberglass Manufacturers I can think of that does Quality work is:

I noticed on the aftermarket OEM parts, 1960-1962 are kinda scarce. More 1964-1966 stuff you can buy. Bigger demand I guesss.

Blarf! Ten years ago I remember seeing a 49-51 ford kit for the 90's t-bird. Still ugly any way you look at it, just my opinion, if only someone stamped reproduction shotbed fleetside bed panels!:waah:
