I knew it was risky just by looking at the picture! But you gotta be kidding me, these are absolute crap! Not only did they arrive dented to hell because of the packing job but the won't work! People have actually given him a good review on these things! I'll post more horrifying pictures of what they look like when I get home today.

What ever you do "DO NOT BUY FROM Classicparts4u !!!"

I found out the same thing, the same way.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure we been over this same subject before with these same parts from same guy. A buddy of mine wanted me to work on his 71 Super Bee, Told me he had new 1/4's & trunk extension, ect. I get there & I see this same crap/garbage that he bought from this same guy,  He tells me Huh, Whats wrong with it?   He thought the parts looked fine being clueless,  This is how this guy is able to sell these & get away with it, Just to many clueless people out there. LEON.

Sorry to see this happen. Yes, this was discussed a couple months ago in the general section I believe. I see your a newbie. This board is a terrific source for info that can prevent problems like this.
There is a company now offering quarters for 73/74 Chargers. I modified a pair to fit my 72 Charger, not that difficult.
BTW, welcome to the board.

anyone try body panels from autobodyspecialt.com ?

I bought some floor pans from them seven years ago, was happy with them. They've been advertising 3rd gen quarters for years but when you call they tell you their out of stock. Do a search in the general section. Someone is again producing these quarters and a member just bought a pair.

Tabco has 73/74 quarters... just got a quote from them... $329 or so each one.

yah,That company allmost got me to ,i was getting pissed off not being able to find quarters and was looking real hard at those trough beer google eyes and allmost bought them ,but I remembered that this site said there was some ass hole sale hand formed parts on ebay and I sent the ass hole a message and after 3 messages two days later, then i told him it didnt matter if they where hand formed and  he said they where hand formed ,and I TOLD HIM TO PISS OFF , ,I looked at that dusch bags ebay replys and one said he woud give a refund for the i thank 100.00 but you would have to pay for shipping to and from and that would be 200.00 so no matter what you do you would be out 200.00 i thank we all need to complain to ebay and make this prick put in his add that these are hand formed .and two months later i bought some from tabco that are die stamped ,dodge a bullit on those its shit like this that makes you want to get out of this hobby ,its real hard on the working class people that have save pennies to buy shit they cant use.

So I got the Jerk to refund me $125 through paypal. And at the same time I gave him negative feedback that states   "DO NOT BUY DODGE CHARGER QUARTER PANELS FROM THIS GUY!!" And now he is pissed with me? 

Hows that go?.... fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me! What was I supposed to give him positive feedback?

I think I'll have to do some work to see if I can use something from this crap he sold me. Thanks for the support though all!!

ANYBODY seen or heard good/bad about these???  I am thinking about trying them, but would prefer to not be the guinea pig, if I can help it.
OR Does anyone know about the stamped panels on ebay and some resto. parts houses and such?  I assume this is the same thing?

[Nacho-RT74]

There is already a guy from the board who got them, but just he is not planing to install them in next weeks or months yet. I'm also waiting for its experience. There si already a guy re-selling them those on ebay with one pic of them... looks nice

yah, i bought a set still havent put them on yet, have to wait till tax time but the quarters look hell of lot better then those,im very happy with them  there die stamped ,its the same company that has owned the dies for years they just had to find another company to stamp them the stamper quit .and they used another company to stamp same dies though. tabco said it took a while to get the tooling right ,allmost every company use tabco quarters ;did anyone notice they dried up all at the same time no one could get them and then when they started back up everyong has them again .i bought  the passenger side a couple of years ago from a company called mill stamping when i received it I noticed it had a tabco sticker on it and realized i paid a 100 more then ordering it directly from tabco.
