After reading all of this. I see some other people have my thoughts on the subject. Yes the stuff is made overseas, and from what I have read in a few good mags, they use a cheaper thinner metal as opposed to suppliers here in the states. Yes they are around, but you havr to do your homework.As for panels not fitting.Go to your local wrecking yard, and get a replacement panel.Its not going to fit perfect neither.I know this from experience because just the small outer cowl on my 65 C10 was a pain in the butt.Now as far as having to reconstruct the replacement panel. No you should not have to do any such thing.Now if the vendor is not listening to your comlaints after numerous attemps to explain the proble, I'd recommend find another vendor.I know Goodmark is overseas stuff, but I believe it is thicker metal.I have also heard good things about Sherman.
