Restoration design. I have purchased stuff from them and my body an who is very picky even commented on the quality and the precision of the fit. Peter from RD was my bench partner at a Dr. evil transmission clinic, great guy and very particular about everything he did. Check out their website.

RESTORATION DESIGN without a doubt.
I grew up helping my dad overhaul VWs, and I've fixed multiple bugs and buses as an adult since then, I've helped restore an old CJ Jeep, a Triumph Spitfire, an old Datsun, and an old mustang; and never in my life have I seen anything even close to the metal quality as the parts I got from Restoration Design. I may even venture to say that the RD metal is better than the stuff that came on the car from the factory... |

What sheet metal sections do you need? Some are not available and have to come from donor cars. Bruce |

Thanks a lot for all the praise boys! We strive to make the best parts we can, and when I hear you are all happy with it that makes us happy. Even hearing the body guys opinion is nice too.
