I don't have any experience but on the other hand, haven't heard anything bad about them.   :thumbsup:

If they are GoodMark they should be fine. (that's why they are so expensive) :money:

Don't know about the hood, but I bought a Goodmark rear valance.  It wasn't that great, I'd give it a 7 on scale of 10.  The gauge steel was definitely lighter than stock, and the fit was not great.  It took some bending to get it to fit.  My biggest gripe is the way they shipped it.  It was in large oversized box with absolutely no packing material.  So this thing just got slammed around and warped during the ride.

The hoods are awesome!   I've seen a few and they look great.  A buddy of mine put one on a 71 convertible and is was simply a sand and paint deal.  The detail is incredible!

I have one and have seen several others, while they are not made of as heavy a guage metal as the factory ones, they fit good and need very little work to make ready to paint.

I am in the middle of a claim right now, my quarter panel came from Goodmark and was inserted inside a box large enough to bury King Kong in and then they threw in another box as additional support that was too small to do any good, bounce bounce bang bang and crash boom, the box came apart, the quarter has a nice big dent in it.  :faint: It's going to be a big pain to get my money back.  :banghead: They need to send an inspector out to check it before they will pay the claim. I totally understand Katfish, the metal isn't as heavy as the original quarter on this one either, I'd rate it a 2-1/2 out of 5.

The hoods are very nice and fit great. The only thing I noticed was the underbracing has an air gap between the outer sheet metal. This may not be acceptable for a concourse resto.
