69 Camaro Body in the Crate

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.

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.

Sorry,I find the term "snobs" in bad taste.I don't even own a Yenko or Supercar.

Like I said, there is an A$$ for every seat and you get what you pay for.

Sorry if this offends you....

Now that we have you here, can you elaborate on how a person would register one of these cars? Obviously you can't just rivit on an old VIN tag and represent it as a 1969 car. What info/advice do you have? Thanks. (and BTW I am very impressed with your work).

VP/General Manager.

Why would he classify people who own Yenkos and like, as snobs??? Everyone that I met at SCR8 were all wonderful nice down to earth people. Seems like there is a bit of frustration or built up hosility towards someone?

Oh well, to each his own. Happy Thaniksgiving all...

Wow

Since we are not in the turn-key car business but the parts and shell business, I have no clue as to how you would register one in your state. In California you have several options. We sell body shells. We do not now, or ever ask anyone do anything illegal and we certainly are not asking anyone build a clone of any type.

It isn't hostility. Go back and re-read some of the messages posted on this board bashing our company for parts that constantly are substandard quality and poor fit. As a matter of fact, we test fit every part we make to insure fit and finsih and if it doesn't fit correctly, we pull it and fix it before putting it back on the market. But I stand by my comment and you're right there seems to be an A$$ for EVERY seat. As I stated before, our job is not to provide parts for the people that don't want them, but to the people that do and can't afford $1,500.00 for an original fender. In that vein we do a very credible job. There is absolutely no need to make nasty comments about my company or the parts we provide as if you were or are in the know about us or what we do. I am not trying to be a salesman merely stating the truth for those that wish to hear it. Flaming me isn't going to change a thing in what we do or how we do it.

As an addendum, I find it interesting that the only thing anyone found fit to comment on was the 'snob' comment.
