Poor quality reproduction crap....

I just compared the CHQ Classic Series Tie Rods/Sleeve to my original sleeve and inner tie rod (still had the orange paint dab) and was very impressed with the appearance.  I hope they function and hold up on a driver.  Unfortunately they were made it Taiwan, but at least it is better than China.  Very frustrated in trying to find parts sourced from USA, Moog (kept my old Moog idler arm), Timkin, and Raybestos (assembled in Mexico) just to name a few.  I am very pleased with Heartbeat, can not beat the very prompt shipping.  Body shop was very happy with the USA made, trunk pan, floor pan and tulip panels.

Thought I would share my opinion

There here, not used on 67 cars, check you survivors cars.

Forgot about that. My 67 does not have those but the 68 does as well as  the spare panels.

Tom, Look at the panel for poor bends and wrinkles. Once you've been exposed to more GM and repro sheetmetal, the differences are more easily detected. Some are obvious like weld nuts. I've never seen a repro cowl panel, GM ones are easliy acquired.
