Cross Canada Limited? I have used them in the past for a variety of things, some items fit great, some need work.

They call it body work for a reason , not body fun.

Dynacorn International is in Winnepeg (spelling?). You will have to find a dealer around you that sells their parts as they are Dealer Only supplier.

". . . is there an american OR canadian company that stamps fenders,hoods what have you,as opposed to buying offshore?

The dynacorn parts look similar to parts from USA companies. The EDP-coated panels look very similar to some excellent panels I have used this past year (made in China and sold by USA reproduction parts vendors).

Jim Carter sells a variety of patch panels made in the USA (some better than offshore panels, some are so-so). He sells the excellent panel-body-specific repair panels made by Ray Stanley in MA/USA.

Ray Stanley makes all his parts by hand, himself. So when there is a large demand for a part and they are stamped out by the thousands, Ray can't compete. He makes parts that mostly you can't get anywhere else and he is a true craftsman.

I don't who it is that makes custom sheetmetal parts, it may be Ray Stanley, but if you do a search here in the archives you probably will find it.
