Taiwan Tin Video

Found this truck-centric video about the replacement body panel industry in Taiwan.

Too bad we don't have US mfg's making these but at least they aren't coming from Red China...

Nice, but it looks like no sheetmetal for our old junk.

Maybe he'll buy the AMD tooling when they decided to abandon it.
Or run out of Charger and E body cars to make parts for or people to sell it to.

Don’t get me started…

I've got a box full of those instrument clusters.

I think US manufacturing is trash. Not cost effective and the workers are fat and dumb.

I used some repop stuff for my Ramcharger from Taiwan.

Fit was excellent, which is obviously important.

However, what struck me was the gauge of steel. Rockers were thicker then factory. Floor pans too.
I had to get a patch panel from China(only one on the market, sold from some place in PA) for that small area right in front of the rear wheels that rusts through on all of the Ramchargers. It was half as thick, made me nervous to handle actually. Thought I might put a twist in it just from the heat of the spot welds lol. I lathered it in paint/product on the inside (both sides really) as best I could.

I buy American, but sometimes there is only one option
