Someone educate me. I've read a few comments in here about not wanting to use the Spoolfool fillers because they wanted to keep the car original. What is it about the other parts that makes the car still original?
Aren't they replacement parts as well? Thanks.
Ok, let's get down to the picky person side of the Buick crowd. First of all I have fitted, painted and installed over 20 sets of fillers, not just 1 or 2 like a lot on here have done.
Abs plastic, and Danko have there place, they require a lot of body work to get a good fit, price is what sells these. Some molds twisted, body lines maybe only close but can be made to work.
Spoolfool, the best fiberglass fillers ever made. Near perfect fit each set I installed, rear is a 1 piece with exceptional quality, slightly rounded body lines, I always painted to match. The rear is a little thicker than original material therefore the taillight area requires a little finesse.
Goodmark, a near perfect reproduction, exceptional quality, fronts are 100% identical to original, clean sharp body lines and fit, rear has overlap as originals did. This is what I recommend for a concours restoration. The rear are a little thicker than original material therefore the taillight area requires a little finesse.
Everyone just has to make their decision due to budget and looks, but Spoolfool and goodmarks are excellent choices, no going wrong with either, just personal preference.
After doing multiple sets, I can tell who's fillers are on a car with a quick look. None are perfect as all have a flaw or two.
Kevin, let us know your opinion once installed, you got my number so feel free to call if any questions.
