Front Fenders & doors for a 55 Chevy which company to choose??

Chevrolet would be your first choice, LOL.

I didn't think Dynacorn offered these for 55 cars, and going to their website, they apparently don't.

Likewise I didn't think Goodmark would have them either but they do show doors. I'll bet they are actually Golden Star doors.

Real Deal Steel's pieces are going to be from Golden Star.

Go look at the fenders on Golden Stars' website. They have a FUGLY seam under the headlight (clearly shown in the photos), and that seam was not there on a factory fender.

I have heard and read here that the Golden Star doors are OK.

Your other potential source for these is EMI/Sherman.

EMI has been sold. New owners getting out of the collector car parts market.

Wow, really? I guess that wasn't their "core" business. I wonder what is?

I have purchased a door for my 55 from Gold Star. I am pleased with it and would recommend (assuming you can't get a decent used OEM)

Rick, their core business has been the OEMs. Only about 20-25% hobby cars

oh no...does that mean that the only 55 quarter panel out there in the future will be Golden Star's ?

rumor has it that C.A.R.S. has purchased the stampings and dies. I dunno

So who is making the repop bodies?

Real Deal Steel. EMI sold all of their original 57 cowls that their converts were based on.
