Has anyone purchased these? I'm hoping for confirmation whether they are good quality or not.

Well they do have a 100% Satisfaction guarantee, so that may provide some comfort....
Their website looks legit and they have a fairly extensive catalog. Perhaps you can be the first to report?

Dean sells it for $442 and while this may or may not be the same product he sells I, and I suspect many others, can attest to the quality and fit of the product he sells. Your money and your choice of who you support.

Just order early in month for Dean. He only does 300 orders a month now that he is in semi retirement. Not to speak for him but so far it seems that by the 11th or so of any given month he has all the orders the website will allow until the next month. Been getting parts from him for 8 years. They are ALWAYS exactly right. He also does some really cool deals that he posts on this forum. I beleive he should run for governor

For April Dean hit 300 oders by the 3rd. Impossible to say what it will be from month to month.

A plus one here for dean. Great guy who sells quality products. Dean has gone above and beyond on many occasions to help me keep my cars on the road. Good for him to be in this "semi retirement " phase. I'll continue to purchase from him even if it means planning ahead a bit.

To all, this wasn't a question on a Vendor, but about the actual quality of the product. Has anyone actually bought this and was happy with it?

I have purchased 2 sets from Dean. They are of great quality. He doesn't appear to have the late model ones on his site anymore, just the earlier ones. This may very well be his manufacturer selling them direct. If so, they are well made.

Thank you Shannon, That is very helpful. I was hoping for a good review. Mine are pretty beat up and I'm doing a frame off restore, so I don't want to put the old ratty ones back in if I can find quality new ones.

As I understand it, after talking to Dean many months ago, he does not stock or offer the trim kit for ‘68-‘70 cars, which really makes the loyalty argument moot.

Depending on what year you need, Paul Wells has them in stock. He has just been so busy with orders he hasn't had time to put them up on his site, so just shoot him an email
