not these guys http://www.showcars-bodyparts.com/amxjavelin.html i have probably over 120+hours trying to repair their really bad mold and them bonding the 2 pieces together....it was made about 2 inches Less wide -- so i had to add a inch+ to each side...when they bonded the frame work to the hood-- it had HOOOOOOOGGEEE gaps so had to fill those in..and some weird rump fiberglass thick tape stuff that was all wavy so had to cut that out ..and then went WTF...its like they rolled up wet fiberglass mat and stuck it between the pieces ( like a toilet paper roll)-- had to cut out the visible stuff-- plus i think they got in a spoon flicking fight with old resin their were raisin sized blobs All over it so had to sand those off......grrrrrrr..... and the front lip wasnt symmetrical either like austin powers teeth-- so had ALOT of filling and reshaping that----im getting anxiety thinking what i had to do

A friend bought parts for his charger from them in the 80s. He published a scathing review of them in the club newsletter. I never hear anyone say good things about them. It appears they have maintained their (poor) quality levels over several decades.

Some of the best Mopar fiberglass hoods I have dealt with are from AAR fiberglass. I plan on getting one of their bolt on hoods for my AMX in a few months.

US auto body sold me a pair of front fenders.After i paid my money the order never was sent.I called them and they said the items are not in stock and they will need to make them.They never told me that before i paid.Sit call and wait.After about a month they grew tired of my calls and built them.They did a sloppy poor quality job just to get them sent out.The fenders had bad spots in the Gel coat where the material fell out in chunks and they filled the hole spots with bondo blobs and spray can primer and sent them to me.I would never buy a glass product unless you can see it in person before you pay.
