Anyone have a vendor they use for Fiberglass body parts. Mainly I'm looking for fiberglass rocker panels, found QRS, but that guys charges WAY to much for shipping. I actually shipped a transmission to and back from Dr. Evil for less than this guy wants to ship 2 rocker panels to me.

QRS shipping prices are actually much better than the quote you get online.
Give him a call. He's a 914 guy. |

I had a GT-Racing fiberglass bumper set front and rear. They were total junk the way they fit. The mounts on the front were installed backwards. Even after correcting this it was a all day job to fit them up.
I've seen a set of there flared fenders being installed at a bodyshop and it was over 40 hours of work. If I was spending my money on Fiberglass it would be QRS for sure. Bob |

I wonder how many of these parts are coming off molds that are now 40 years old? It seems that anyone's fiberglass parts will take some massaging to make them fit properly.
