Default Vanacor parts

Previous to buying a complete rear clip I did a search on the forum for a vendor. I Read several differing opinions on Vanacors. After several emails about what they had to offer I placed an order for a '73 vert rear clip with ZL flares.


Other then being a few days later then expected, (seems you should not order stuff from New Orleans during Marti Gras) the clip is straight, finish is smooth.

Also bought the deck lid which was way better then expected. Has the inside structure with thread inserts for the hinge and latch hardware.

Too many are quick to criticize. Put me in the satisfied column.

Glad to see they are back and running! They have more positive than negative comments. I'm still considering an L88 hood.

I believe I got the first L88 hood they produced after they started up again. I am very satisfied with their products

Don't mean to highjack this thread; does Vanacor attend the annual Carlisle show?

To the OP. Not enough people today give thanks when deserved. Well done!
