I am heading up to California (LA area) from Arizona to pick up a 70 bug and would like to find a place to buy a one piece Baja front end while I am in the area.

Pacific Customs (Corona, CA) and Moore Parts (Anaheim, CA), both off the 91 freeway have fiberglass 1 pc front ends for $150

Street Address: Pacific Customs Unlimited, Inc.
1620 Commerce Street • Unit A
Corona, CA 92880
Found that one and it would be at my last stop in corona
For $150...How good/solid are the front ends?
Do they compare to the $300 ones from (dare I say it) J C Whitney?

FYI, jc whitnet always equals ripoff. if you were not agains spending the money and having it shipped, i have heard nothing but good about mark v fiberglass products

You can also try Fibertech in Santee,CA. I have one of thier front ends, after 12 years I have had no problems. Sorry I dont have a phone number or address, but they are near Chenowth. By the way, glad to finally meet you Brad. Later Mitch.

I'm not sure how good the $150 fronts are, although I'm sure they will last. That's what I would buy if I needed anpother one. I know the more expensive ones that McKenzies sell are hand laid glass. That's the difference, which is better? I have no idea.
