I notice a price difference for replacement sheet metal parts between AA and Restoration Design. Is there a quality difference or is it expensive to ship to US from Canada? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

The RD jackpoints and tubes are superior, but they need to be hand-fitted. I also got rockers, but they had a little fitment problem and I had them fitted for me.
I got heater parts from AA, both OEM and aftermarket, and it was all fine, with no fitment issues at all. I wish someone made new front rockers. I know we can get the rears, but I want a minty or new front for a 73 that I can have powdercoated. The shipping for the rockers to CA from CAN was a little brisk. Maybe 85. Just bought a set of aftermarket tins for a 914-6 from a 3rd maker. We will see how they fit. John |
