It was. My main concern with this one in addition to the waviness is how soft the bends are. It's a mushy stamping.
My experience so far has been that Dynacorn parts are typically much better stamped. Sometimes I'll order the CJ Classics branded parts since they're sometimes be Dynacorn parts. It's hit or miss. When I did torque boxes, I ordered the '67-'68 Dynacorn pieces that weren't welded together. They screwed up and sent me a '69-'70 set that had the parking break pass-through on the driver's side. It still fit just fine.
I found a place called Dynacorn Depot that only sells Dynacorn parts. I'll be using them whenever I want to make sure it's a Dynacorn part.Yeah...CJs parts are all over the place...like you said, the classics line is often Dynacorn...I know the strut rod braces I bought were(those are actually better than the original for strength), as well as a lot of misc panels. It is rather baffling since my radiator support was so much better quality. They must have swapped suppliers in the last 6 months or so for the rad support. Time to go to NPD I guess, at least with NPD you can get better info on the supplier.
Hey, new to the site and just stumbled on your thread. Love watching your car come together. I noticed you were working on the upholstery earlier in the year. I just finished recovering my seats in my 65, it was challenging but I managed to do it all myself. Not sure what you will be using but I'd highly recommend TMI products. I couldn't be happier. Anyway the car is looking good.
Yeah based on what I read and how mine came out, I agree. I used the TMI foam and it’s definitely firmer, and I got the sport so it sits way higher than the originals. My car will only be driven occasionally for 8 months a year so I should be ok. Redoing them is worth the investment though, I didn’t realize how bad the old stuff smelled until I did this project.I have heard good and bad things about TMI...mainly that installing TMI upholstery over the stock foam causes it to "flatten" the seat more than the factory upholstery....that TMI upholstery fits best with TMI foam, but then the foam is much firmer than stock...also that the durability on TMI is lacking if you intend to daily drive your car. Not that you have much choice, its either TMI or Distinctive Industries I think...I plan on going DI myself though....mainly because I do plan to daily drive the car when its done, durability is the most important aspect for me.
Thankfully, the parts that were back ordered all shipped early last week. Only the radiator support hasn’t yet arrived. The driver side fender apron and rear passenger side apron are Dynacorn parts that were drop shipped. The radiator support should be here tomorrow or Wednesday.Expect a lot of parts to be back ordered ,may be for a couple of months at least . The stroke kit Nick ordered is on back order and they cant say when it will come . I am having trouble getting parts out because of material back orders ,looks like this will be a problem for a while .
@Noobz347 how do we create a sticky thread on sheetmetal replacement ,one we can build on as we go ,or can we ?
