I'm sure that this has been asked, but not in my area. Who carries the inner rear wheel well panels? LMC doesn't carry them, the local GM dealer says that they are discontinued. Or am I looking at making panels this spring? I'm in Indiana, anybody got any clues on where I can go? If I can't find anything, then I have no choice but to go to LMC, but I don't like the fact that they will not tell how thick their panels (outer) are. Goodmark says that their website is down til the 10th, guess what, it's the 10th and still no goodmark. Did they file bankruptcy and it didn't fly?????
 
Well while I remove my foot from my mouth, I will inform the folks that are following this that I found someplace, don't know if it's close but damn they have the correct parts. So much for going and touching the parts before I install them. Brown is going to hate me lol

It's ringing, wait. Well ****, they never answered.

Just kept ringing, and ringing, and ringing. No answer from anything. Well I haven't gotten parts yet, but I'm going in the right direction.
 
Cool deal! Im interested to see if the gauge of metal is like original stuff or if its like tin can sheet metal like some aftermarket stuff ive heard people talk about getting. Also if the fit is right.

You and me both. I don't want do redo my work in 5 years. The original has lasted 25 so far
 
I would bet it's thinner, but I think all the re-pops are going to be. Original metal is almost impossible to find. I did find one, but the guy wanted $450 and it needed some work. My original had internal rust. Bad enough for the mount for the regulator to be completed rusted off at the bottom, plus there had been some bondo repair to it. I decide to buy the $155 tailgate, and by the time I get new guides, and other hardware, I'll have about $350 to $400 in it.
 
I would just bedline/undercoat the inside really well then it should last a long time I would imagine.
 
I'm also curious on the quality as well. Post back your results as a lot of us need replacement panels....:whistle:
