Information on body panels?
I'm trying to start a list of body panels I can begin to start replacing. I see plenty of people around the forums with new front clips, fenders, ground fx, and doors. I was curious on where I can find these relatively cheap. I figure it won't be exactly dirt cheap, but for instance a new bumper with low profile ground fx less than $700. Anyone have a website or information?

Re: Information on body panels?
That was my first thought, but I'm kind of looking for parts that have 0 mileage on them, like fresh off the truck. I wouldn't mind going to a junk yard if it was a last resort, but I do believe there is other options. Plus I REALLY do not want another urathane bumper, mine has not done too well throughout 30 years

Most people are going to tell you to stay away from new aftermarket body panels -- fit and finish is usually poor at best. Original used GM panels are your best bet for quality unless you can find (and also afford) NOS GM parts.
