Reproduction body parts

[copout27]

Hi Guys, I'm confused (not surprising) and need a little help. I'm considering buying doors for my 66. I've heard that all reproduction body parts such as doors, fenders etc. are made in china and are all the same. (not sure if thats true or not) Are they all the same or is there for instance, one thats a better quality than another. While comparrison shopping I found that a door from Brothers is $700. and what looks like the same door from LMC is $490. Is there a difference or is there just a much higher markup between companies for the same product? Any suggestions on where to buy these parts?
Thanks, Skip.

If you can fit and weld you can get a brand new door skin off of e bay for around 150.00 bucks....Big Tim

Big Tim, thanks for the info. With all the issues the doors have, I'm leaning towards replacing them (passenger door for sure). Just wasn't sure if there was a quality issue depending on where you get them or if they are all about the same.
Thanks, Skip
