Which is better. Pro and Cons?
Personel experiences??

Lets here them

Either works fine. I think you'll find that metal holds up better, doesn't crack when you have to work on things. FG is 1/2 the price though and looks just as good.

Sure OEM steel would be nice to have but, if you are building a street car on a budget I think this really comes down to $$$ and making the best choice on where to spend it.

The repro ones seem to work fine and the appearance is not too bad. Again it's all about the bennies.

I wasnt even thinking OEM steel. Big $$$$$ even if you can find it.. Just the aftermarket tin.

I am fitting FG right now. I don't have any complaints so far, and for $175.

With Dan's help, I made my own tin.

Still haven't installed it yet.
Only problem I've had with this, is the air filters get dirty.

Maybe over the winter...

I am running Dan's stuff for my conversion and so far I am happy. I have his tin, bell crank, and he worked on the shift rod for me.

I am putting things together now and I have no complaints about any of Dan's goods and they were at a great price.

Cheers

FG for $175 seems like great price. was that new or from a private sale?

$175 was from www.Rennspd.com I have Dan's tin too, but I wanted a full set and didn't have time to fabricate the rear piece. Cloudbuster welded up the seams in my Root kit, too. No complaints with it, I just needed to move faster with myt stuff and FG was easier to goof with.

metal bends, FG breaks. I've pulled my tin more that once and it has been bent around the mounting holes sometimes. FG is cheep, tho....

the FG stuff works gud ...

metal is nicer, but the OEM stuff is expensive!
