Re: [BaadAssGremlins] new fiberglass fenders?





My point is, without dragging this on, is what I tell people daily...there are good reproductions and bad reproductions. Chinese made aMC emblmes quickly come to mind. The simulated rocker moldings offered for 70 AMX is another, you have to pay 'up front' the manufacturer in China, then when you get product it may or may not be spot on. The 70 AMX simulated exhaust moldings being offered out there the horizontal slits on side are larger than originals for instance. Might be not noticable to non AMCer, or even occasional AMCer, but if I'm judging your car I will deduct points for it.
 
Years ago the manufacturer here in US of 90% of the weatherstrips out cars use had a 'bad mold' for the 68-74 AMX Javelin door seals. So while new, after about month they would snap and break, usually under door or near trinagular seal at top back. So would have to give refunds to those people who bought them to keep peace, after all, only month old strips. So I sent NOS strip up to them in MN and they fixed mold, now everyone happy since in aMC land singing wea re the world without MJ.

Actually I think that guy in fla is the current high bidder on my spirit eBay auction.
Yes I have heard bad stuff about showcars. I wouldn't use them there are other vendors for glass Amc parts I just didn't have time to search

I have not had anything from Showcars ever fit, and the wait time is 6-9 months before it is shipped out of Canada. I agree, most if not all fiberglass as Davis mentioned needs to be trimmed and fitted, but some are beyond ill fitting and others are so thin you will never get waves out. It's why amc4ever guy that used to sell all the hoods, bumpers and other fiberglass parts on ebay down in FL is no longer around. My dealings with Showcars came to a head when repeated attempts to get back my scoop used for a mold, went on after excuse after excuse and I threatehend to go to Harris County courthouse and file theft chrges, of which a warrant would have been issued, so guy if stepped foot in US would have open warrant. Extreme, but they would not give my original scoop back......after 7 months.......not good business practice there. But with fiberglass, yes, they have to be trimmed and fitted, whether headliner for AMX or spoiler or hoods....
