    I did a search on aftermarket body parts to see how people felt about how well they fit.(fenders Hood etc) I didnt come up with anything specific. Any comments what manufacturers are good or bad?
    Thanks Steve

    Stay away from King Cobra that Crown Automotive sells. They are junk. Bought some for my CJ-6 project and they fit horrible. Right one was a different length by about an inch from the left. Some of the Omix Ada stuff is supposed to be ok but no personal experience.Nickmil.

    The only part I have experience with is the rear deck. I got one from Classic Enterprises and it was an exact fit, as well as identical in appearance, hole placement, etc.

    I bought a windshield frame from JCWhitney, it was an Omix Ada item. I tfit OK, had to enlarge a hole and grind down some edges. Usually you do have to to do a little work ot make them fit, but they are usuable. Some tiems you get a real dog of a piece adn you will ahve to get it replaced.
