I bought a pair of these about a week ago to finally make some headway on my project '73 charger. Shipping was fairly quick, I'll give them that.

As far as the panels.....well, I guess I got what I expected for under $400. 

The wheel well openings measure a full 1/2" larger at the bottom than stock. The body lines appear to be correct with the bend location but the metal under the body line is concave instead of convex.  They also arrived almost flat.

Needless to say, I'm not happy about it, but it's pretty much what I expected was going to happen and rather than eat $165 in shipping costs I'm going to cut them up and use patches instead of whole-panel replacement; which is what I really wanted to do.

In closing, if you need patches, go ahead and roll the dice and spend your money with nor/am auto body parts.  If you want full panel replacement and correct dimensions, save up the $1000 it'll take to get them somewhere else.
