But AMD (and CBD) has the best sheet-metal out there, so you might be using more money on fitment and bodywork with panels that do not fit as good.

Hold out till you can afford the better panels that are available.  You get what you pay for.  Save some money.  You'll thank yourself for it later.   :Twocents:

Sure, some of the members on the board are but for those who aren't, those people have to save till they can buy the better quality parts that are available now.  You can do it too.

U guys must be rich  :down:
Hotrod   I have been doing bodywork restorations since 1973  and trust me ,save for the amdpanels   you will be spending  so much time fitting the crappy ones  that it will drive you nuts  and is in the end more expensive.  I have done it both ways and will never order the cheapo ones again.  good luck

NOS is Nos for a reason, most of the time they have problems. This is why there in the box still and not on a car. There were some parts for replacement from the factory but some were returned by technicians or body men due to in-op or intermittent working problems or fitment problems. NOS panels usually have allot of work to be done to be right on a car. New quality panels fit better in most cases.  :Twocents: Johnny  :METAL:

Now isn't that the truth. Most NOS panels would seem like factory rejects.

The NOS Fenders I received fit great. Only had two small dings on the front of the Eye lid. Other then that they turned out great!! Maybe I just got lucky!!! :shruggy: I haven't had much experience with NOS panel. Also that AMD quarter panel were awesome. Just a little tweaking. But In one day had them mounted and weld. Great product. Save the cash and get the best product for you coin!!

I used AMD rear quarters on my '69 and they still took some fitting to be right but they weren't that bad. We even spot welded them back in place as the factory  did and look very nice now.

Buy the better brand and you will be much happier and time and money ahead.

if you can't afford the AMD panels, what are you doing for paint? Krylon?

Lets  start over I was at the MOPAR show acupple years ago (ST>LOUUIS) they were selling trunks, floors, and other body parts just clean sheet metal and the holes were not punch out and did not have the black E-coat on them ---MY misstake should have bought them all that year !!
The next year there was nothing but AMD (saving on shipping) had to by the trunk at twice the price :brickwall:
No I just wondered were the other went ????
