my AMD quarter panel potato chip

[Mike DC]

The more im looking this panel I think it got banged around a little in shipping.

At least it didn't arrive folded in half.

the only complaint i had on these is that the roof structure at each rear corner gets really close to touching the skin. I massage that part down automatically now.

Maybe your car was just at a bad area of tolerance for the skin. some just are that way. These cars were not built on tight tolerances.

Care to explain Brian? I never changed a roof skin, I'm going to but I'm kinda nervous about it anyway since I want to have the car look better afterwards, not worse...

Where the inner structure rounds the corner by the sail panel . If you look at the space between the roof and the structure, you will see that it's already tight. If left alone ( at least on the ones I did) this will put an out dent in the roof skin, plus it need to have room for when the car flexes and twists.

Hopefully this helps.

I get the point. I will keep it mind.

I built my 68 back before the quarters were available from AMD. I had picked up a set of skins from Charger specialties back then and the ones that arrived were crap too. I ended up speaking to a lady over there and special ordered a set with a heavier gauge metal. The trade off however was the body line down the middle and on top wasn't as sharp.

Took a whole lot of patience, heat, weld, cool, rinse and repeat to sharpen them up without distorting the rest of the panel. (I wanted the car as bondo free as possible) I was finally pleased with the results when the skim coat was nearly non existent except a couple spots about the size of a quarter and silver dollar. A couple coats of DuPont Perma-Fill took care of the rest when I blocked it down.

No waves, quarter was as stiff as OEM and zero oil canning. That was my trade off so either way you will be spending time on them.
