Were in Taiwan this week visiting all the Muscle Car GT factories where Golden Star Classic Auto has their replacement sheetmetal stamped--today we were invited to the facility in Taichung where the '57 Chevy convertibles are fixtured, assembled, and then crated (in weldable primer) for shipment to the US. Even though Asian-sourced metal is gauged metrically, we inquired about the thickness of the sheet steel used for GS's parts/bodies: so far, everything we've seen produced is the same as OE, with many substructures actually thicker than factory original.
