reproduction a body wheelhouses...
« on: August 15, 2007, 05:15:40 PM »

well, i spent the better part of my day off trying to find out whats going on with the a body outer wheel houses. i know that they were available in the late 90's, but ive had no luck finding them now a days. year one no longer carries them and doesnt show any replacement in the near future. i did however make a call to goodmark directly, and let me tell you they have an awesome staff. the guy i talked to on the phone gave me the bad news that they dont have anything available, but he gave me lots of contact info for people to call. i got a hold of a guy named dave at roseville chrysler in minnesota/michigan (cant remember) he was also a real nice guy and knows a ton of info. apparently he stocks alot of the mopar sheetmetal stuff for goodmark. dave told me that the old stampings are long since gone, but they are being reproduced. they had already begun to be produced last year and should be available again anywheres from december of this year to feb. of next year. i was really impressed with they guy from goodmark and dave from chrysler, its nice to know that there are still some really cool guys out there...

Do you happen to know which A-body ones they are going to reproduce.All A-bodies or just a few.I got lucky and purchased the last one in Canada that I could find for my 67 Barracuda, but I still need the passenger side. Dunno !nanr

It is the same wheelhouse for all three years 67,68,69.I also talked to Goodmark and they told me they were not going to make any in the immediate future.There is not enough demand.Thats why the previous company stopped making them.I  also talked to Nigil at National Moparts he said if you find one for a 67,68 69 Dart you can section it to fit.But I figured that to be allot of work.So I will wait.JEDS67 Popcorn Popcorn
