Why is G-Body sheet metal so hard to come by?

[hp3445]

Why don't the major sheet metal companys make parts for the g-bodies?
I have two bad doors and need some major work if I can't find decent replacement doors! WTF?!?! The market is out there... Everytime I call a company it's like I'm asking for their first born!?! What's the problem??

What car do you have? Some G body cars do have a pretty good amount that you can buy.

they dont even make a complete door skin, only a lower door skin half.

now someone DOES make fiberglass doors but you dont want that, its basically for race cars and lexan glass use only.

your best bet is to hit the junkyards in your area OR...do a search on ebay or simply look around on this forum in the for sale section.

All about location...pull a part here is full of Regal, Cutlass Grand prix stuff. Malibu coupe / Camino , hardly ever. Monte occasionally.

The yard I go to has easily 60 or so Cutlass's of all the different body styles, probably 25 Regals, 1 Malibu (It was a wagon that was rough, but nicer than the one that I drove there :lol: same color too), 1 Bonne wagon that was way to nice to be in the yard, and 2 elkys. Good thing I'm a Cutlass guy...

All the Malibu's and Monte's get snatched up for circle track racing.

i'd love to have that bonneville wagon from that junkyard.

ive only seen ONE ever in my life. i think they're a great looking car but the GP's alone are ignored and treated like a red headed stepchild so that wagon would have to be immaculate.

If you want the fiberglass doors (which I agree is for racing only), Glasstek sells them along with other fiberglass products.
