Re: replacement sheet metal from lmc
I pretty sure the aftermarket sheet metal (repair panels, fenders, etc.), are all stamped at the same factory. The ones that I have used, they are close, but expect to do a lot of massaging.

Re: replacement sheet metal from lmc
I order all my sheet metal from Top Banana and have been satisfied with everything I've ordered. Most catalog companies use one of two or three sheet metal companies and its a crap shoot on what you'll get with fit and finish. Have heard a lot of good stuff about Goodmark lately too.

Re: replacement sheet metal from lmc
Appreciate the input checked.out top banana and goodmark although at least on my phone i was only able to go back till 1975 with goodmark the products at top banana seemed like a good deal a lot less costly than LMC for sure so at the price I'll see what happens...updates when part arrives
