Goodmark repro parts vs other reproduction parts?

[Grizz1963]

Simple really.


What is the perception out there?


Based on real parts fitted, swearing, fettling, hammering and regrets.


How have you guys found these parts compared to original parts (beyond the fact that original will always be original)



I am going to import a pair of wings to replace the very rotten and damaged pair on my 66 here in England. Front Fenders...... $122.79 Goodmark [Rock Auto] Then you need to add shipping, taxes and import duties.

Just been digging around on Rock Auto website.

One reproduction fender costing £90.00 or $122.00

Delivered to the UK for £281.00 or $368.00

I want to replace both the fenders outright as they are so damaged, but looking at these prices, it almost makes sense to fly out and bring them back as baggage.



They said it would be interesting


So looking at various options where maybe getting the balance right.




A few pics of my original fenders as illustration



Drivers side fender.

Patch panels may not be big enough.






Passenger side. Some small dents up front to address.....





The rest of it though.......

I think I may be needing either a replacement used fender, or a half a used fender, or a pattern part, complete fender.

This will be interesting.



Very interesting
