Best quality ducktail?

[Fishman7]

I would like to buy a duck for my 89 and paint it to match, who builds the best looking and best quality? I know there are a lot of bad ones out there!

Gary Stratton (he goes by Sonjay here) makes the best....he makes it like the factory made their's.....he grafts a fiberglass burzel onto a metal factory decklid.

He even wants to know whether you are going to use a newer plastic decklid grill in it or the older metal grill.....they attach with different dimensions.

I have one of his ducks on my car....there was no question about fitment since it is on a factory decklid. It is a nice piece....

does he have a website or contact details?....for his tails

+ 1 on Gary,

I'm going to him after saving up my duckets. Also dealt w/him on some used parts. Stand up guy.

Depends on your goal... for racing and track cars there is no reason to spend the $$s on Gary's great skills as you are more than likely to see rough usage...

for fit, finish, and originality there is no substitute for Gary's but expect to pay for the best

Other venders: GT Racing, Better Bodies, MA Shaw, some others... I think MA Shaw has the better rep concerning fit on an all FG parts, but it could be a crap shoot depending on how far into the mold they are on your production run... either way, you will spend some time or $$ on getting the fit right.

Mine came from Rennspeed....I had no issues with mine....It all depends on how old the mold is as to the quality of the original part. I will get one from Gary next time though. I just have to save up a lot more cash.....
