I have a 69 GTO that is going to need a fair amount of body work. I was just wondering about the quality of the parts that are out there. I am going to need basically all the front end pieces (a hood, both front fenders, radiator core support, inner fenders) and possibly rear quarters. Also, where did you get these parts?

Thanks

The GTO hood is nice.

The fenders are discontinued even though they are in catalogs. The US made fender patches are nice.

The Radiator support is nice. (requires slight mods for 68.

The inner front wheelhouses are a recent repro. I do not have any feedback yet.

The rear quarters are ok. They require some work to make show quality.

I have aftermarket core support in my 69 and am very happy with the fit and finish. The front fenders also fit pretty well but I returned them because they are a much thinner gauge metal and 'oil canned' easily when leaning against them.

I do have an extra set of original fenders for sale if your still looking.
