Front clip suggestions needed

jsw585 · 04-08-2006, 10:59 PM

Can anyone recommend a supplier of high-quality fiberglass pannels for my 63? There are a few manufacturers out there; has anyone been impressed with one supplier over another? I am debating a total front clip versus quarter pannels (press-molded, of course), and if I go with the front clip, I want something that will look nice/work well for installation?

Thx in advance!

Although I have NO experience with either, it is said that both Corvette Image and Sermerscheim's make the best panels and jig assembled front clips. Chuck

We have had the best luck with Sermersheim. Put on a 67 front clip earlier this year... no sweat.

We've used their 67 front clip and it worked well. We don't have them put the side coves on as part of the clip. We put them on seperately. That way you can better handle the clip when installing and properly align the door body lines to the clip.

Have had no experience with their C-3 clips. Sorry.

Thanks for the help. I had a great conversation with the people at Sermersheim last week. They supply a number of the big mail order houses. If you want their products you have to request them. Sounds like quality 'glass that's correct!

Is there any contact information for Sermersheim? I tried to google them and nothing...

I think they're a family kind of business and don't have a website. "old school". Keep trying, it's worth talking with them. Jim.
