A few manufactures have just introduced newly retooled header panels as of (Nov. 13, 2009) so we ordered up a few just to see who has the best part out there
First as a control subject I opened up a N.O.S. (new old stock) GM header panel
FIRST TEST;
Basic visual test(comparison of fit and finish)
SECOND TEST;
Basic measurements compared to NOS GM so out to the warehouse
This is what we do with our free time, and after this we picked a Quality restoration piece!
That is 1.1 pounds heaver than factory GM with Cleaner than factory Stamping and Finish!!
Its a part that GM wishes they would have produced
and we also found a GREAT service part thats the almost the same weight as GM with decent stamping and a GOOD finish and less expensive price point!!
