sheet metal
 

im sure this question has been asked numerous times but i cant seem to find any answers on here. Who makes the best sheet metal? Specifically floor pans and inner/outer rockers. I heard LMC has some poor quality stuff. Just want to know what you guys think

goodmark is very good. Ive not had any problems with the stuff I bought from Tri Pro automotive or Chris Lucas ( CaptKaos) here Id try to avoid LMC and ebay like the plague

my buddy has an lmc cowl hood and an lmc tailgate and they are both junk. harwood and goodmark are both good companies

And yet another repop sheetmetal thread I have to follow. From what I understand you ain't gonna find good repop sheetmetal in one place. You'll have to get the good metal from several places. I understand Tri-Plus has some good stuff. I'd never pick on old Rusty C10 but I have heard Goodmark refered to as "Badmark". ALL the patch panels are questionable from what I have gathered so far. Some panels are too thin a gauge and some don't line up correctly. Its hard to see a guys pictures in his build of new patch panels tacked in with relief cuts to make them fit. Believe me, I wish someone would put all the confusion to bed. I think its best to find who makes the best panel and not for someone who has a decent line.

Junk yards have the real thing. take a generator a grinder saws all and chop away. any thing aftermarket lacks quality.

Weather and junkyards don't mix here in the midwest. It is nearly impossibly to find a solid panel in any yard around me

I bought my fenders, patch panels and rockers from here. Speak to Wes- really nice guy.

Wes seems to be an active member and a great person. I only hope he would steer you toward the good stuff and away from the bad.
