65 GTO Rear Ribbed Tail Panel The Parts Place and Chromed Tail Light Pieces
 

Hopefully all are staying safe,

I have a couple questions regarding the Chromed Ribbed Tail Panel from The Parts Place.

It is time for me to replace mine and I have been looking at the one at The Parts Place for years.

What is the quality like of this part?

What is the fitment like for this part?

I will be replacing the chromed tail light treatments also but will not use the plastic ones.

Who makes the in cast and what is the quality and fitment of them?

Do the ribs line up when purchasing these items?

Thanks for your input,

Mark

As far as I know Mark, Ames still does not have any tail panels. I bought the cast metal tail light bezels and they are excellent.

PG Classics makes and sells the tail light bezels and they are excellent.

Last year I ran into a guy who had just finished restoring a 65 GTO. He told me that he purchased the tail panel from The Parts Place and was very unhappy with the quality. To be fair his car was backed into a tight one car garage and I didn't see the panel. I have the cast bezels from PG classics and they are very nice. I wish that they would make a tail panel that is just as nice.

Thanks to all for the information.

Mine are horrible, but it just cost so much to have the tail panel and tail light bezels re-chromed that I thought I would see the quality of The Parts Place item.

If I am going to spend close to $700.00 for a so-so piece, I was might as well spend a couple hundred more and have mine redone.

I guess I will take my pieces off the car ans send them to Paul's Chrome and get an estimate on what it will cost me to have them redone.

Thanks,
Mark
