      Quality of Replacement Door Handles

      I have a 1965 Buick Skylark that I am restoring and I am wondering about the quality of the replacement door and window handles. I know other A-bodies use the same parts such as the Pontiac GTO. So does anyone have experience with the products from such places as OPG, Year One and Ames for starters? Wondering about the fit and the finish.

      I cant help with GTO handle advice, but I know that the Camaro and chevelle handles come from Dynacorn Dii (most of them) and there of decent Quality and finish, original GM wasnt that pretty to start with I sold many GM and Repo ones for Camaros when I was in the restoration world, hope that helps

      I was I believe on the Ames website and they were saying on some parts the reproduction parts were of better quality than the original GM parts. Your story supports that. So if the reporduction parts come from pretty much the same place maybe I should just see who has the best prices taking shipping into consideration.
