Are 68 parts going to be made? or just 69?

When the AMD sheetmetal first came out, they were on display in the Rick's booth at Carlisle. The tops of the fenders were already lumpy from all the people coming by and tapping on them. These are from 2007.

Sound like race car parts. I can only imagine how many dents would be in my car from servicing to someone leaning, to a pebble on the road....

I know this is an old thread, but I've just mocked up a pair of AMD's aluminum fenders. I've had them for years, and wanted to use them on my current project (69 Camaro, natch).
Anyway, I'm disappointed. They are too flat... not enough curvature on the top line where it meets the hood. |
Update: just off the phone with AMD. They no longer manufacture aluminum fenders. They've sold out their last batch and won't be offering them any more.

I have mine all fitted up John, they were a nightmare. I had the tops reinforced to help stop dents, we will see if it works.

Have you tried another hood ?

I hear ya about the hood... and no, I haven't tried another one. I don't have one lying around to try.
Besides, it's an Anvil CF hood, and has to stay. AMD's installer is supposed to call me and we are going to talk about options. I think I'll see if I can get a discount on a set of their steel fenders. At least with a steel fender I can expect a body shop to be able to fix this. They won't do anything other than body filler on an aluminum fender. |
I talked to Tracy (at Anvil) about this and he said to put the car outside in the sun, and weight the hood over the support beams along the edge to pull it into place.
So the hood is outside with 250 lbs of stuff on it in a 90 degree Florida sun. He said if that doesn't work, he'll send me another hood. |
