    Who makes good paint?

    My local shop sells me omni but mixes in the ppg binders for next to nothing. I'm not after a high dollar paint job but the omni is a bit thin on coverage in some colors so I get a better base pretty cheap. No matter the base I would step up on the clear.

    Sheetmetal From JCWhitney? Quarters Panels?

    Goodmark has a few panels they make in house such as some e-body stuff,the majority is Taiwan stuff.I did some research when I bought my duster skins and all of those are made in Taiwan-although with the prices goodmark wanted you would think they made them,I think the rest is luck.

    Hood hinge questions

    I had the same problem,even with the retainers tight it took too much power to overcome the spring so it would bind and the hinge would flex.I actually took the spring off and use sylglide or something similar to lube them,installed some new retainers form a hardware store and its great.
