According to their site they make a LOT of '67-72 stuff, both light weight parts and a heavier grade. Don't know if they're good, bad or otherwise. They used to be near Gainesville Fl. & it looks like they've moved over near Tampa. Their products ain't cheap.. heavier thickness body either large or small window is $7000. Interesting website with lots of pictures.
They're not great.

I have several pieces on my Chevelle (bolt on flat hood; lift off cowl hood; glass front bumper).

None of them fit well without a bunch of massaging, and the glass (and paint) crack over time.

The good thing about US Body Source is that they make a lot of different stuff and - if they don't make it - they will make it for you off an original.

So there's that....
