Couple of questions on sheetmetal/bodywork

i've been doing body work for about 50 years and i can't remember too many body panels that ever went on without some kind of "massaging" either with heat, body filler or a Big Hammer. forty years ago you could go down to your local plymouth dealer and order any OEM sheet metal you wanted. however, that "gold plated OEM" factory sheet metal that we all lust after today? - it came wrapped in cardboard usually with a half a dozen shipping dents and scratches. welding "factory" sheet metal on a damaged plymouth was only the BEGINNING of the body work! so don't go too negative on AMD for the parts they are reproducing today.

as a bit of a truth disclaimer here, i have my 69 M-Code down at AMD's resto shop right now getting a bunch of sheet metal replaced. after talking to their shop manager craig hopkins several times, i have a pretty good feeling about how they will repair my car. but i will report on FABO once i get the car back.
