Hey all, so my 69 Fastback is in the planning stages of what it needs sheet metal wise, so my list is quite large. I bought a 69 coupe for its front clip. But for the rear I need the following

Both full rear quarters
passenger rear frame rail
Trunk pan
Both complete rear wheel houses
floor pan
And a shock tower with apron since its not worth cutting it out of the old coupe

I have been on CJ Pony, Mustangs Plus and Year one. Year One is the most expensive but are any of these parts vendors metal made in the USA? Non of the descriptions say if they are. Are there any places you'd recommend that I have not looked up?

Only stuff I seen prodcuced in US is some of the ford tooling repo. All other are overseas. In my experience - Ford tooling is most expensive but best first, followedby Dynacorn, and then the rest is hit or miss. On the oversized itms qtrs, doors, etc. Place all your order at one time. Truck freight is one charge regardless of how many pieces.

Glazier/Nolan will discuss this with you.

Sadly, much of what you might need simply is not available US made, and some of what is, is crap.

Thanks all for replies, The guy who I got my 69 FB from who is also going to be doing the metal work since he owns his own classic car restoration business will be cutting me a break on labor but thats a bummer that most the metal is not made here in the U.S. He told me to find USA made metal cause its thicker than the overseas products? And if does anybody know a friend who has used the overseas sheet metal and if they liked it fitment wise and overal quality? I got a Mustang Plus 1 hour from me so I can drive and get my parts to save shipping and have a local classic Mustang small business parts supplier 30 minutes from me they get the over seas products, just would prefer to keep my mustang 100% American made haha.
