Dynacorn vs Goodmark

[KPC67]

Hey guy's, Is it true that Dynacorn sheet metal for a first gen camaro fits better than Goodmarks?

[ironworks]

I have noting but problems with Goodmark. The only dynacorn quarter we have done fit great. I will never use Goodmark again.

Yeah, i heard they were different. Supposedly Goodmark is not registered with GM since Dynacorn started producing their bodys. I have Goodmark quarters for my 67 camaro and they do not fit well. I was considering buying a pair from dynacorn to see how they fit. Now don't let this rub off the wrong way, I know they are both aftermarket and could possibly need some work.

C10 goodmark bedsides are good but doors are junk-not sure if dynacorn makes c10 parts--jim :wow:

From what I hear, Goodmark sells the Golden Legion panel. They (Goodmark) don't produce their own panels. I used a Golden Legion panel for my driver side, and it fit like a glove. I just test fitted my passenger side quarter, and can't say the same about it. Actually, I'm trying to ship it back and try another one! Not really sure how it passed QC.

Dynacorn has truck parts. They even make new 47-54 cabs. I have noticed what may fit great from Goodmark (Golden Legion), may not fit with Dynacorn, or vice versa. I use both, some parts fit equally well, others are worth the metal they are stamped out of. We have also used EMI, which is stamped here in the US. More expensive yes, but they are worth every penny. The only issue with EMI is they stay away from most parts already duplicated by someone else

I heard that both the Goodmark panels and the Dynacorn panels are stamped out in the same factory in China? I used Goodmark sheet metal on my 69 Camaro and it required some tweeking to say the least .

I know Goodmark has changed some tooling. Some stuff definitely used to have problems. I think BOS hung Goodmark on Penny and everything seemed fined according to Steve if I remember the post correctly after the accident. I also know there are some Dynacorn pieces I wouldn't bother with either. I think both comapnies are hit and miss depending on what part it is.

I bet the car comes into play big time as well. Hell...almost nothing has every bolted on my car. I realize body work is different but..

[fesler]

Well we have used all panels and for the most part the Goodmark panels fit the best, you can not expect them to fit all cars because of how different everything is. I have been doing the Goodmark parts for years and just know what panels work and what ones you are expected to metal work. Original is allways better but way more expensive. Goodmark is GM authorized by the way and I think most of the parts are GM cert some might not be but I know they were changing all that over

If you are trying to save a buck think of this before buying, if you know how to do metal work they are all fine but if you have to pay someone or your body shop to make them fit the car they will cost more than most stock sheet metal to fit to the car.

We try to keep all the body panels stock but sometimes you cant find what you need and have to go aftermarket.

Just make sure you test fit everything. I had a problem with Trunk lids on my 69 Camaro. The third one was good. All of them were Goodmark and only one of them was Golden Legion. Golden is suppose to make some of the best fitting panels. All cars are different as they have had a different life. I have had a lot of luck with panels from Golden.:thumbsup: BUT I STILL TEST FIT EVERYTHING. IF IT IS OFF I WILL GET A LITTLE I WILL GET A NEW PANEL.:_paranoid

[jcal87]

what is the price difference between say goodmark and original sheet metal? i didnt even kno you could go to gm and get original parts

well my 69 bird trunk fit good from Golden Legion and left quarter also fit well the other side-unknown brand - didnt - used to be everybody said goodmark was the bomb for good fitting panels...

I've heard many have had problems with pass quarters. Seems like an issue with the stamp tooling.

This is a very timely topic for me since I'm ready to purchase 2 full quarters for my '67 Camaro. I've been debating on who to go with for awhile. I live 20 miles from the Goodmark warehouse here in GA, so it seems like a no brainer. However, I just recently visisted the Dynacorn web site and went to the "ask Joe" section. I typed in Goodmark to read some of the questions and was amazed at how much Dynacorn pretty much hates Goodmark and bashes them over and over again. Of course this is their perspective, but man...I guess I'm still on the fence. I'm sure I'll get the panels from Goodmark just because of proximity (no shipping), but it was an interesting read to say the least.

All the Dynacorn parts we use fit great, can't beat the price either
