Anyone tried the Zinc coated re-Production doors or fenders?...Thoughts?
 
Just trying to figure is it easier and less expensive to just buy new doors and fenders or should I have the rust and dents fixed??? If the re production doors and fenders fit nicely...maybe its better to go the re prod route?

Any thoughts or comments would be great!

I bought repro fenders and they didn't fit like they should have- the body guy had to make them work and I bought used doors because mine were rusty and we just put them on and they fit perfect. I would recommend finding fenders and doors in good shape off of a different vehicle not reproduction.---I have a drivers front fender in perfect shape that I am selling too if interested!

but did you buy the new zinc coated repros that are supposed to be made with new tooling or the old regular repros?? i think hes asking about the zinc coated ones specifically. im also interested to know, i bought repro 67 fenders and i personally didnt care for them either.

If your refering to the GoodMark stuff, then I have heard alot of good things about the newer versions except for their doors. I have been told by quite a few distributors that they would prefer not to sell me any of the doors due to alignment problems. Also some of their earlier versions of the bedsides had some minor problems, but they have gotten that issue fixed. I have not heard of any issues with the fenders But with all repos you should still expect some minor issues.

GMCPaul had some at carlisle.They looked good and where heavier than some of the other repros.He said he used them on his own truck.
