Autobody Speciaties vs Goodmark?

[bbscamp]

Are they both selling the same stuff?   I'm needing a trunk lid and a non cut out rear valence.....   What are pro's and cons of these 2 parts???

Also....How good is the pin on TA hood?   I'm looking for one, but prefer the hinged one.....

I bought a bunch of body parts from Autobody Specialties, and the full rear quarters were Goodmark items, in Goodmark boxes. Great guys to deal with and the best pricing I could find too.

I have bought many parts from autobody specialties and they are great people to deal with.And a friend of mine wanted an nos fender for his 68 firebird and they located one and didnt soak him on the price.

I bought the rear valance from goodmark and it fit like a glove, it's supposed to be built from the original die, but the lower rear quarters were another story.  My body guy had to fab some tabs that were missing form the repro.

  i bought a pair of cuda rockers from auto body speciality and they SUCK! not even close to stock, bad bends.good luck!

As mentioned above, I think Auto Body Specialties is just a reseller of parts (similar to Sherman & Associates here in Detroit).  I'm not sure who makes their parts, but a lot of these resellers use parts from Cross Canada and Goodmark.

Goodmark does indeed make their own parts, either directly or under license.  I ordered the full factory style quarter panel, and it arrived in a box marked 'CSL' or 'CSH', something like that - but no Goodmark logo.  I called Goodmark, and found out this is the Chinese company that actually makes the quarters for them.  The quality was excellent, unlike some of the patch panels I bought from other companies, where the tolerances were apparently plus/minus 2 inches.

To answer your question:  The panel you buy from Auto Body Specialties (or anyone else) might, or might not, be the Goodmark panel.  I would call both companies and ask.

Just my

The rockers arent replacements, just covers, i learned the hard way, ended up rebending small pieces to patch the old ones!

  bought from paddock and year one and never had a BAD fit on any replacement panels. a little tweeking is to be expected. these rocker COVERS sucked.never again from auto body specialties. they have lost me as a cust for the cost of 2 rockers,been rebuilding muscle cars 20 yrs+.
