I own a mostly matching 64, ready to go to body shop to install front clip, what are the pros and cons of press molded vs hand laid fiberglass? I am not interested in showing car competitively, but do want to maintain the value of the car. I apologize ahead if the topic has been covered previously, guide me to that thread( I've not been on the forums in a while). Thanks, Joe.
Handlaid will lower the value of the car simply because it is obvious the panels are not original as soon as you look at the back side. In my experience PM has tended to be better fit & finish and take less time for body work so when I did my '71 I did all the panels in PM. That included both rear quarters, tail light panel, deck, front upper surround and left front fender. I don't regret for a second I paid the extra $ for PM.
