No...new to me...just curious on the quality of the metal (after a few years) and the fit, as from what I heard it is made in China with possibly recycled metal...Any feedback from others that bought the F-body shell??? From the bad reviews I've heard from guys on the repro door handles that were pitting due to the recycled metal being used, I'm wondering if the issue will also surface on the shells/quarter-door frame assembly, even if they will be painted/primered......

Unless of course it's a 'vert in which case you still can't get quarters or wheelhouses

The sheet metal quality is fine. These parts are not unique to a Pontiac and are shared by all a-bodies... the Chevelle bodies are very close to being available.

Paul, my concern is not immediately but more in a few years (only time will tell) as the repro ext door handles (don't remember which manufacturer) looked great when new then deteriorated tremendously after only 3-5 years, and that with driving car in perfectly dry weather...

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.
