Re: Goodmark repro parts vs other reproduction parts?

When I was working on my '64 Suburban I went to 2 local parts places and looked at another set of new fenders a friend had. I believe they were Goodmark, Triplus and the third said Acme on the boxes.

All of these had a similar shape to stock but the biggest problem was the piece that is spot welded in the front (I have pointed out the location on your original fender in the photo). There were large gaps between that piece and the fender. This section also looked odd next to the grill surround since they didn't line up.

So really they fit, I just didn't like how they looked. So I think it matter how picky you are and your ability to fix the originals.
