A lot is coming over the next couple of months

when i bought my car i was hesitant to rip it up and start the resto till i could afford/source the parts i needed and over the last 4 years a pile of new stuff is now coming available, i bought most everything i need now for body parts except the front fenders.... sigh.. they are coming though... or so i am told.

i bought through the local napa/crosscanada dealer so far:
quarter skins (surprizingly good fit)
rocker panel skins (junk, complete garbage)
outer wheel houses (cut some off a tempo or sunfire, they would prolly fit better)
trunk floor (not bad)
trunk extensions (not bad, needed some hammer whacks here and there)
rear valance (little trimming on the top half inch, but pretty good)
front valance (looks awsome, but no where near test fit install stage)
rear valance extensions (did one test fit and they don't seem to bad.. i repeat test fit)
rear crossmember (fit great, holes drilled half an inch out to lunch, price was outrageous)
front fender inner spalsh sheilds (look nice leaning up against shop wall... no idea how they fit yet)
front floorpans (contours aren't as sharp as factory but look way better than the 40 year old ones in the car)

there is a bunch more available from them that i didn't need such as
battery tray
front inner fenders
bumpers
the watchamakalit panel that goes between rear window and trunklid
the little inspection hole covers that fit on the front inner fenders
a few frame repair sections
and a few more i can't remember offhand.

looks like there is rear taillight panels,
trunk lock towers
trunk seal gutters (or whatever they are called)
and a bunch of other stuff fresh on the market

1968 xp29 charger thats now rust free.. and trunk free and floorboard and quarterpanel free.
1972 b5/b5 318 barracuda patently waiting its turn.

I agree, what a POS!

Quoterear crossmember (fit great, holes drilled half an inch out to lunch, price was outrageous)

Glad to see mine isn't the only one.

Auto Metal Direct is the company that's supposed to release new front fenders, hoods, and a lot other 69 parts as well as other years.  I think they are at www.autometaldirect.com, but their site still isn't up and going yet.
