US Body Source (in Florida) is one of the few suppliers that makes a lot of parts for my '74 Chevelle. I suspect they are the worst in terms of fit and durability.

I love that. I've been an Altered fan ever since I met Wild Willie and he swooped me up and set me in his driver's seat.

I always wanted to build one but have had so much fun with my (sleeper) door car that I never followed through.
