My theory is this....
Are you building a Pontiac Firebird or a Taiwan one?
No, original NOS GM/PMD parts are not perfect. GM wasn't in business to build show cars, they were in business to make money. No "perfect" car ever rolled off the assembly line and your high end judged car shows know this and will deduct points for over-restoration. I, for one, can spot repop potmetal pieces from across a show field.
As far as weatherstrips go, you will never beat NOS GM. But the best A/M come from Steele Rubber Products. I have dealt with Steele since it was called Lynn Steele and you dealt with Lynn and his wife.
