Default 67 Camaro full quarter panels- Goodmark

Hey, I've got a set of full quarter panels from Goodmark. I've also got a pair of outer wheelhouses as well, also Goodmark. I'm doing one side of the car at a time, in an attempt to have as little of the car apart at a time as possible. I've fit the passenger side wheelhouse and quarter to the car, and I have got to say it is aweful. The quarter does not meet the drip rail up on the sailpanel, it hangs far too low at the trunk drop (~2"), and the lips of the wheelhouse and quarter do not agree. At the front of the wheel opening, the quarter and wheelhouse are way too tight, and prevents the quarter from sliding on completely. At the back of the wheel opening, the quarter lip is as much as an inch away from the wheelhouse lip. Now I know this sounds like the wheelhouse just needs to be moved forward some, but the outer wheelhouse only fits one way. The outer wheelhouse is tight in its 'home'. There is no room for adjustment forward, backwards, or otherwise. Overall the quarter fitment is terrible, at least in my opinion. I'm pretty certain I could get the money back out of the quarters, but the question becomes who do I get new quarters from? Anyone else ever have issues with Goodmark stuff? I thought Goodmark was supposed to be pretty decent, afterall, it comes with a pretty hefty price tag. Part of what scares me here though is that I have a load of other Goodmark metal, including a door shell, trunk to glass filler panel, roof skin, fenders, hood, and header panel. I have already installed a new Goodmark upper dash panel, and that was pretty sucky too, again, in my opinion. Should I try to find some other poor bastard for all this metal, and start my search for better quality stuff? Or am I the only one that has ever encountered this problem? And I know repro. sheet metal is not just gonna jump right on and fit just perfect, but some of this is outrageous. Any help is appreciated (assuming someone has the patience to read this entire rant).
