I recently ordered some parts from gbodyparts.com for the first time and have been super disappointed with their service. They sent me the wrong parts twice, which has resulted in delays to repair an El Camino as well as the time and gas to send them back the wrong parts. Anyone else had these issues? Alternatively, can anyone recommend a better supplier? Mikesmonties? Dixie Restoration? I will need to purchase additional parts for a restoration and need better service to meet a deadline. Thanks!

Hi there, just replaced top door hinge on my gbody (didn't change lower), because the door pins were a little worn and the bushing on the arm that holds the door open half way was busted. Used a ebay replacement (not OEM because I couldn't find one) and had the door lines perfect, door shutting well. Then I notice the body line on the back side of the door had opened up and the door dropped about an 1/8 inch! Now the door tight and has dropped, hitting the striker on the bottom and not closing super well. I rechecked all my work, all shims are in and bolts tightened and all I can see is that maybe the door hinge is bending because of the cheap metal and heavy weight of the door? Anyone else had this problem?
