Nope, and I'm going to the shop right now to work on it
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.
Maybe?? I've used lots of Goodmark panels in the past some fit great some fit like sh!t. Soooo we'll see
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.
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.

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.

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

I vote buy the crappiest panel you can find. How else are you going to develop those skills and fill your tool box with all the new tools you need to make it work? Just Sayin! Ask me how I came up with that!

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