Nope, and I'm going to the shop right now to work on it :headspin: :D

It's going along slowly, I've been crazy busy with the day job and kids sports. I'm hoping to have it all epoxied later today!! I still need to order my qtr panel, I just can't bring myself to spend $100 on shipping an AMD when I can get a Goodmark for a few bucks less and no shipping??

Plus you'll get to spend many more hours 'bonding' with the Goodmark quarter panel. :snapout:

:disgusted: :bitchslap:

Maybe?? I've used lots of Goodmark panels in the past some fit great some fit like sh!t. Soooo we'll see :popcorn2:

If I knew for sure that the AMD fit that much better then I would spend the money, we have a local dealer for for AMD but he charges almost the same price as with shipping, plus he doesn't stock that much AMD metal.

A penny saved is pound foolish in this case.... AMD is the far better product.

Vince@Meanstreets 11-30-2014 09:28 AM

If you posses more skill than money go for the cheap stuff.

But nothing eats up more time and moral like an ill fitting part. You may save $150-200 but you'll be doing about 3 hours of extra work. The problem areas are the trunk gap and tail panel transition.

Hope to see it in primer soon.

I don't have firsthand experience with either but I've read enough comments here from folks that have worked with both and AMD appears to be the winner hands down.

The Boy's use AMD and that would be enough for me to spend the extra money vs. struggling with inferior product quality.

I fitted AMD quarters to my 70 Camaro, body work guy was very impressed with the fit

Well Chad as I've been doing this for 25 plus years now I think my most used statement holds true here "Smarter NOT Harder" :knokwood:

Plus if I buy anymore tools I won't have any room for the car to get worked on!! :thumbsup:

So speaking of updates......no love for the lat-g bunch?

I had a gent arrive at my shop today ordering some heavy shower door glass, in a '73. Saw it, of course had to go out and talk to him. Original owner (him) ordered it (from a dealership i used to work at), and its a California car built in Ohio (Norwood), i think it was built there cause he ordered it with a 4spd.
676,000 miles, his daily driver then, still his daily driver. Bad to the bone :thumbsup:
