Default 1964 GTO Trunk pan supplier

Looking at ordering a complete trunk pan for my 64 GTO. Curious what your thoughts are on the quality and fit available pans? Looks like either Dynacorn or Golden Star. Any thoughts and past experience would be appreciated.

I used a Goodmark 3-piece and I am reasonably happy. It’s not an exact reproduction though.

I did the full one piece from Ames for my 64. Not sure what the brand/source was because it was drop shipped to the body shop and I never saw the packaging. It fit well and I didn’t get any complaints from my body guy. My quarters were off so it was an easier install, i think maybe a little trimming at the back side was required but I’m not sure….

Not sure if Tom Jeffers is still living but his company made a lot of first class sheet metal
parts (Floor board and Trunk Floor) for the GM vehicles. I have them in my 64 GTO.

At one time they were supplying parts to Ames and others. Not sure if they are still doing much these days. My stuff was made many years ago.

When I ordered a full trunk pan for my '66 through Ames in 2020, it arrived in a box from CHL Auto Parts. They're made in Taiwan, but it was an exact match and well constructed. We had to make a few minor adjustments to small areas at the base of the inner wheel housings, but it was small potatoes. I'm assuming Ames sources trunk pans from the same manufacturer for '64s. I used CHL Auto Parts sheet metal in numerous other locations on the car and it was all perfect match & fitment.
