69 Camaro Body in the Crate

Most of the steel bought for these body panels are purchased from Japan. Guess what...the same place most US companies purchase their steel. So I am curious, how is it that the reproduction parts made in Taiwan are going to rot faster than than the US parts?

Like in any business there are certain companies that are trying to capitalize on the Muscle Car craze and build body parts and throw them in the market at a fast pace without doing much research or with little or no QC. There only goal is financial gain

Most of our structural steel is bought from Canada (sad[no offense intended ],but it's not Japan)......sheet metal and alloys are always local.....

No offense taken. Its obvious I misread my research and appreciate the correction. I certainly don't want to mis-lead anybody with faulty data. Whether imported from Canada, Mexico, or Japan I simply was trying say that I don't believe that imported metal rots faster than domestic metal....however it is apparent that you may have better knowledge about that also.

I can only speak for companies in my area.....Cleveland.What is supplied to these stampers(repro body panels) may indeed come from Japan.I don't want to speak for everyone....There are severel different qualities of steel.It stands to reason in todays MFG most would want to stay cost efficiant.Remember, you get what you pay for.
