Re: [Chevelle-list] trunk pans

[Bill Vander Werf]

John,   I didn't mean to step on any toes. I wasn't saying that nobody else sold any quality parts.   I've had bad experiences with some "other" brands. My philosophy is that if you have to put a couple extra hours into making something fit, it is actually more expensive. That is, unless your time isn't worth anything to you. I've bought some "other" sheet metal parts that I swear the die was worn out about 30,000 panels before they made mine.   If you know of something equivalent or better, tell us about it.   I've had good luck with Goodmark parts and bad luck with some "others". I was just passing along my own experience.     Bill Vander Werf   ----- Original Message ----- From: John Nasta To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Tuesday, June 27, 2006 8:21 AM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] trunk pans 1) I think you can also do it if you’re doing a frame-off and have the gas tank out.   2) Not true at all. For the most part Goodmark sells the same stuff as everybody else. They just charge more for it because they are Goodmark and people have this bizarre idea that if it's more expensive it must be better.       -----Original Message----- >The problem is; you can't get the one piece pan into the car through the trunk opening with both quarters in place.     > Regardless of where you buy it, I have found that anything labeled Goodmark is worth the extra money simply for the difference in fit and finish.
