Default Re: Biscayne Resto Project

I sell these parts and as far as I know they are packaged separatly as FISHER BODY is a trademarked name.By separating the emblem you only have to license the emblem itself and not the whole door sill plate.Less money for GM.But when I sell the moldings I include the emblems.What I don't understand is why you didn't use GM ones, as far as I know they're still avaiable(at least they are in Canada)I think restoation parts are like anything else.Some are good,some are OK, some just suck outright.When you buy your parts mailorder thats the chance you take.A reputable dealer should advise you whats good and what not.Just an idea but a good category for this forum would be a report card rating quality of purchased resto parts.This might give manufacturers more insentive to build it right the first time.Great example:67/69 F-body door sill mouldings,the ones you can still get from GM lack any detail,the corvex repros are as thin as tissue paper.At SEMA I recommended to TRIM PARTS(a quality parts supplier) to repro these items.That was 10 years ago,I think they are finally getting around to it.Anyway I don't want to steal your thread.Remember a lot of resto parts suck but even nos parts are not like the originals(as GM outsourced to differant manufacturers and are only meant to do the job not look cosmeticly correct).I'm getting dizzy, gotta go.Steve
