      Heartbeat city 69 tail pan

      Does anyone live near Heartbeat City 15081 Commerical Drive Shelby Township Michigan 48315 That might be willing to go hand select me a tail pan? I can Pay youfor your time if needed.

      I just recieved my new Heartbeat city 1969 tail pan today.
      I WILL call them tomorrow to see if anything can be done .

      I must admit I am really not impressed with the quality.
      The right tail light opening in the top left corner is flat, The stamping is not really that clear around both tail light openings.

      The left inner tail light attatchment is croocked on the bottom (not paralell to the opening like the other side)

      The whole thing comes to a very slight point in the center (isnt the area between the lights supposed to be flat?)

      The lock opening Is not stamped very sharp.

      The left end next to the lower left tail lamp openning is rolled down.

      This is better than the tiwan part but IMO not worth 5X the price.

      As I stated before I have NOT called them yet to resolve this, This is not to slander HBC

      Maybe this was a part that slipped past QC as the pics on ebay are Incredible.
      What I posted this for was to see If anyone else had these issues and possibly see if somone might go and select me a good one =)

      I will follow up on this tomorrow after I call them good or bad

      I hate to report back but I called them today .
      they said that they are aware that the tail opening stamping is weak and are also Unaware if or when anything will be done about it.
      The rep I spoke with went back and looked at one and said yep they are all like that. When I said thaqt the picture on Ebay lookes flawless he then stated yep that was a picture of the better ones made.

      All I can say Is it is better than the tiwan part but IMO NOT worth 500 bucks i would say its worth 200 maybe 250

      The funy part is that they Swear by 100% satisfaction guarentee
