I have a friend who had a 70 Torino Cobra restored and the shop had it 7-8 yrs. Repro quarters were not being made but I found him somewhat crude skins on eBay which his shop was able to use with a lot of work. My point is that apparently AND is releasing Fairlane/Torino parts while decreasing a-body stuff. WTH? They already have the a-body tooling and just need to make another run. They're also releasing a LOT of stuff for 70s GM trucks. I seem to remember that AMD seemed to be Mopar only when they started but now they're abandoning us? Oh, except for E and B bodies. Bottom line, there are more Chevy owners than us.

Maybe we need to flood AMD with part requests and they'll restock. But I know across the industry Mopar A body owners are considered cheapskates. Several vendors have told me so. If you want to play you gotta pay.

Another thing is they may have been hit hard by the foreign trade tariffs Trump put into place. For sure Sleepy Joe will eliminate them which may lead to parts again.
