Nobody??

What you want to look for/ask is the ones that have the GM restoration license. From the book: "They're made by manufacturers who build to GM's specifications and label them accordingly. Many even use original tooling for unparalleled accuracy in look, feel and performance."

Here's a link to GM's site: http://www.chevroletperformance.com/gm-restoration-parts/index.jsp

and the link within that to the current suppliers: http://www.chevroletperformance.com/_res/pdf/2010%20Restoration%20Parts%20Suppliers.pdf

Not listed, but I know has been in the past: Auto Metal Direct, Golden Star Corporation, and Fit-Rite Auto Body Parts. I have heard of AMD, and Golden Star. I think AMD does a lot of stuff, but I can't remember about their reputation.

I think I may have already asked you about this, but I have a hood for a '66 Malibu. Of course, it's of no use if you are building an SS. I also see you are looking for some new sheet metal and this one has been used.

Actually, I'm not even sure what it looks like. When I bought the car last year, I got some extra parts. The hood was in a box that I didn't open. I guess I'll do that sometime, take a picture and list it on Craigslist along with a few other odds and ends.

You should check out the Team Chevelle site and in particular to body shop section. Not a lot of good reports on 66 sheet metal, especially the SS hood and quarters, and doors. I would check with Mitch in this regard.

Yeah I have read through a lot of the forums over there and like you said I am not seeing any good reports for the 66.

Bryan, we are doing a Malibu but I think the hood we have is in good shape, although I have not looked at it closely yet.

I try to use Dynacorn parts since Goodmark and most others sold out to one corporation a while back. The Dynacorn panels seem to fit decent. ALL replacement panels will need tweaking and trimming to get right, even NOS. My first suggestion is to call Denny at Auto City Classics. They are in Isanti and he stocks a LOT of panels and parts and orders more stuff quite regularily. By driving to Isanti, you save on shipping and Denny is pretty good about matching competative prices. I've bought a LOT of parts from him over the last few years.

Especially the part about buying LOTS of parts (including sheet metal) from him in the last 6 months.
