68 core support and front valance
I need to replace the core support on my car, rusted by the battery tray and thus the correct support mount area. In addition the front valance has lots of dents. Not sure if it's cost effective to put a nice used valance on. The reproduction items, how do they fit and function? Just like OEM? Need minor/major work? Is AMD the recommended vendor or are there other(s) which fit better? I probably need a driver front floor pan too, but need to get a better look at it first.
Thanks, Chris

Repop core supports fit fairly well. But repop front valences for 68 are horrible. Stick with a good used original for that. Floors and patches from repop work well enough.

Nothing agaisnt our host... but summit sells the correct inner fender by Goodmark for a good price and minimal shipping. Just installed on my 68 and I would consider the fit to be excellent.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
