Re: Restore the old or buy new parts? Something to consider carefully.
I'm trying to remember the member who bought new: inner and outer fenders, radiator support and a few other parts.
He spent A LOT of time documenting how bad the parts were in fit and finish, or lack thereof. I remember he used a lot of green masking tape with notes.
I thing that the stuff you buy now is pretty cheaply made, just not cheap. I've heard from many members on this board saying how much better it is to repair your own original metal. Stuff like patch panels, and the like are OK to use, but if you look at the post of guys doing them, they always have to be massaged in one way or another to fit and look like original.
I agree with you on spending A LOT of time to fix something like a radiator support, but I think you're better off in the long run.
