Re: 69 Camaro Body in the Crate
Why don't all of you take a few minutes out of your busy days to do some investigating. The steel used in the replacement body shell is 1006 automotive grade steel. Different from the original yes. But, different bad? No. There are few additives and no sulpher infused into the steel. There is a boon to start with. No excessive sparking and showering when welded. Also tends to make the steel a little more resistant to dents,creases and becoming brittle with age. In addidtion, the thickness of the steel used is now all thicker than the original, so leaning on one or opening a door is not going to pull your door handles out or leave a dent. The bottom line here is that all the purists that want their cars to be left original have that inherant right for sure. Don't buy any reproduction parts for your cars from us or anyone else. But, there are scores of people that can't afford that luxery. They have options as to how much they can spend on their projects. We, at Dynacorn International and Dynacorn Classic Bodies, help them with those options by giving them the very best part available on the market for their cars. If it is a body shell, so be it. There are areas that need to be worked; yes. There are rough spots yes. No one ever said there weren't. Just as the parts that didn't fit on the original assembly lines got boxed up and sold as service parts. NOS is just that. The general market for these cars and our parts is not focused at the Yenko and Supercar snobs at all but to the regular folks that just want a nice car they can drive around. We give them that option. Now, take that for what you all will. I have not tried to upset anyone by this missive but bring a reality here that seems to be missing.
There seems to have been a lot of comments about the quality of our parts compared to an original. Well folks let me say, that we do not ever engineer a part off of an NOS parts because they didn't fit to start with. We use all original parts off of original cars so that they do fit. We find that most of the fitting problems associated with parts sold by us and others is not the part but the person trying to put it on. And remember, these are 30+ year old assembly line cars and nothing fit perfect to start with.
