Has anyone bought any body parts from these guys?
« on: April 19, 2007 - 07:06:18 PM »
Has anyone ever bought anything from these guys? They have a lot of stuff and the prices seem reasonable. I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with them, or the quality of their parts.

don't know about all their parts & prices BUT their e-body inner fenders are way overpriced & don't appear to be the good stuff. Their price is $333 while Goodmark is $219.95.. read about it here http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/index.php?topic=30613.0

Their products look like the junk I have received from Year One and the Paddock in the past.

They are the worst fiberglass producer I have ever run into. An aquaintance of mine purchased an Aspen bumper from them. They sent a Dart. When he complained they said send it back and we'll get you another one. This time they sent a Dart Sport. Once again, much complaining, they were defensive about it and told him to keep it, they would send him another bumper. This time they got it right, as far as body style goes. The bumper had visible parting lines from the mold. it looked like it was de-molded while still curing as it had a twist in it. The gel coat was thin in man spots. The fiberglass matting was visiable on most edges. It was simply a mess and took many hours of work to get right.

Unless they have a one of a kind piece that you coldn't find anywhere, I'd avoid them. They do sell on Ebay, so do a store search and check out some of their stuff. A lot of it looks like bad leftovers from the 70s.
