RE: [Chevelle-list] Replacement sheetmetal Who makes it ???
Keep in mind that because of tax & tariff laws it often behooves a company to work under a different name in a different country. A perfect example is that DII's Canadian company is called Golden Leaf Associates. Same people, same product, different name. The bottom line is that DII does own their own stamping facility in Taiwan, and even when some of the other companies claim to "make their own" what it boils down to is that they paid for the dyes and DII is stamping it for them. It gets very convoluted.

I purchased a right 69 full rear quarter from DII (Dynacorn) the last week of August. Haven't installed it yet but I also have an original right GM 69 rear quarter that I compared it to and the Dynacorn quarter looks like a very good reproduction. There is no way Goodmark is stamping their own 69 full rears. They in no way could justify the price of the machining (dyes, etc.) with Dynacorn's quarter already in production. My guess is that Dynacorn is stamping them for Goodmark. That's why Dynacorn was first on the market with them. They wanted to fill the market with their product before they released them to Goodmark. My understanding from a very good source that has been a distributor for both Dynacorn and Goodmark for many years is that a large number of Sheetmetal replacements are manufactured by Legion in Taiwan and then sold to the above mentioned companies. So neither company is really producing a number of the sheetmetal parts for our cars. Trooper

Re: [Chevelle-list] Replacement sheetmetal
While we're talking about repo and sheet metal You can ignore Year One's sheet metal rating. I bought a full qtr panel that was a "#1" and "NOS" from them, and it was a POS.It was so thin, it actually ripped! Fortunately, my body man was able to salvage it, and fix/hide all the problems.
