I can't list all the bad ones I ran into but one of the most spectacular was the bumper clamps that were really just bolts with the heads in pot metal. They looked good but the bumper blew off in the road when a dog ran in front of me on a four lane road. Didn't hurt the dog as the bumper flexed and absorbed the blow, nice scratches on the chrome. Also a 28-29 radiator shell that would not fit original radiators, dash panel that wouldn't fit.... I better stop as I could almost build a car with the junk I bought over the years.
