Default Does vanacor make quality products?

Im planning on buying a new one piece front clip for my 79. And it seems vanacor makes the cheapest one BY FAR. and im just wondering if they make quality products. Does midamerica or ecklers make better front ends? :chevy

I have used them a number of times. The parts were always good quality parts. I have not purchased from them in a while though. Good helpful supplier. I would purchase from them again.

When you put the front end on make sure to put your hood on first, and then line everything up. Good luck. :cheers:

True, they may not be ecklers quality, but I have used them on both of my vettes and have had no problems with them. I would use them again if needed. Last August in Carlisle, where you can compare everybodys quality up close, you quickly see they give the best bang for the buck, again not the best money can buy, but a lot better than others I saw. Good luck.

I have bought from vanacor, a front indy spoiler for the 78. I plan on buying from them again, for the 85. The part was good, good fit, and they were good to work with on the phone.
