In my opinion reproduction parts are limited to plastic and rubber pieces that don't hold up over the years. But even in that case there are NOS ones out there. But honestly, using reproduction sheetmetal, OMG that is the LAST RESORT!


Just an opinion from a career autobody man who has done a lot of restoration work.

What about his one, new sheet metal or find short tree stump and a few good round rock and hammer it out?
