LMC has some products that I'd consider using, but grille surrounds or body panles(from what I hear)have cr*ppy quality(doesn't fit, bolt up, and very flemzy).
broncograveyard.com has some good quality parts, as well as some of the sponsers of this site.

I use LMC for a lot of little parts that I can't find through anyone else. But for body/trim, etc, I would use Dennis Carpenter or someone like that. I think we've all heard horror stories about cheap body parts. After all, there has to be some reason one tailgate is $99 and one is $399...

LMC just takes your money...that's it !

I suggest to patronize FTE sponsors sites .....these poeple make this FREE site available to you.

From what I have heard, A few of FTE spsonors purchase Dennis Carpenter parts and repack them and then sell them cheaper than DC does.

DC has the original Ford tooling which in my mind is a good thing.



To me ....buying things at LMC after visiting FTE is like:

Drinking & Eating someones Coffee & Donuts then going across the street to buy things from another store.
