<x-flowed>Hey Jeff, let the list know where you find "new" sheet metal panels. I'd buy some just for spares!

Date: 01 Mar 2002 16:27:52 -0600 My new '67 Squareback is in need of some paint - it's all primer right now. But there are some rust spots eating through the body panels. So, I have to either fix them or just get new ones. I rather prefer to have "completely good" panels versus patch-jobs, so I'd probably be buying new ones. Here comes the tougher decision - original or fiberglass? Keep in mind I've not done a cost-comparison - and economy is definitely a concern. So, could I get some opinions or anecdotes, I would appreciate it. I wouldn't be trashing the originals, keep in mind - just taking them off for "functional" panels. I want the car to look more or less "period" (not bone stock, but not hot-rodded) Another issue, too, is I live in Chicago - land of Ice and "Salt". our roads eat cars for lunch. And I plan on driving this car year-round. --boinger ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
