I have Unlimited doors on my Challenger from the 90's! They still suck... eek That's why they are covered with stickers. They are light, just junky fiberglass. I've been trying to find some steel doors for it actually.

Do you work for free? How much should a quality piece cost? How many hours do you think it takes to make a mold, and then make a nice part from that mold?

A friend of mine in Sodak, very talented body guy, bought a complete front clip for a challenger from them about the same time frame Dave.... ended up in the burning barrel after hours and hours of trying to make it work. Can't remember where he got the second one from... but it worked.

Early 90's would have put them under the old owner who's lack of quality seemed to be famous. Never understood why Kevin would have taken over and NOT changed the name.


BTW..... anyone looking for brackets for their fiberglass bumpers look no further: http://lingenfeltersbrackets.com/

I'm really not complaining. They do work. They are just so thin that they don't hold the curved shape of the body under the body line. They just go flat. They are nice and light and I take the door off and on every time it goes in and out of the trailer. It is a race only car so...

So has anyone tried Sled City parts? I am looking for fenders for a 65 Plymouth Satellite and I have only seen them available from them.

Had good luck with both hoods I've bought from Unlimited.

Didn't expect much when I read reviews and experts complaining about them. Took a chance as I wanted a cheap hood and the quality was a lot better than expected.

They use to be horrible down
Not so anymore up
I've bought and used two of their hoods in the last four years, nice stuff now since Kevin took over up

If & when I can afford a new hood, I am gonna grind up this crappy, junk hood that should have never been shipped to me, into tiny pieces & ship it back to them.

I think most of your choice will maybe be a cross your fingers/lucky dip .
I have had a up22 hood on my satellite since 2007 , not too bad but not exquisite . Price and supply time was good . Ordered bars off vfn or aar got shipped a front bumper for a dodge, I don't have a dodge - their response was I should have checked it . I am in Australia so that's a bit awkward , especially as I ordered for a Plymouth .
here's a link re sledcity , not everyone gets the best result -

I think people are generally losing the point when it comes to fiberglass panel producers. There are those that do a LOT of race car stuff. Does it need to hold up? Yes. It doesn't need to be of the highest quality when weight is more the concern. Street/show cars type stuff is going to be made better and you should kind of research who does restoration/factory stuff? Or a TON of racecar stuff?

I have had one dealing with sled city fiberglass, that was enough. I ordered a hood scoop from them. When I received the box, most of the mounting studs were protruding through the single wall cardboard box. There was NO packing materials in the box with the scoop. Several of the mounting studs were bent from poking through the box and banging into things in shipment. The front mounting stud was not in the center of the scoop opening by about 1 inch. When I contacted the owner, I was told, "bend the studs back to where they should be". This was not a $100 special, I paid over $325 for this. BUYER BEWARE!

All bolt on parts are Unlimited. Bought in 88. Needs new paint, but the glass has held up fine. I am happy with their products.
