GM.

Just can't help myself sometimes

Seems most of the sheetmetal retailers may all have same suppliers. Shop by price, and hopefully you'll get some good referrals.

Re: Sheetmetal fit

I want to copy-and-paste the advice it has more to do with that since it was new, it's had a straight frame, no previous wrecks, no hacked-up body work ever done.

Probably more items.

Re: Sheetmetal fit

When the fat doe t-boned me, I went with a hood and fender from LMC in Kansas City.
Good service and I have used the hood at least once a month for the past three years and it is great!

Good tip, if locals are ordering a lot of stuff the bundled cost is way less to them.
