Rob, just johns Chally rears, were no where near right
Pauls panels were ok except a patch panel near the bottom very small, so they stayed original.

They've been 'test fitting' the fenders for at least 6 months (probably longer, I can't remember).
The full rear quarters are only made by Goodmark, wherever you get them from (Year one or anyone else). They have a very good rep. The rear quarter patch panels are not as good but to be honest are not at all bad - that's what's on my car. Only real issue is the slightly dodgy marker light cutouts (why???)

That is what it was like for the Challenger fenders and before that the rear quarters.

I think they were made with the old tooling and have nothing to do with the brand new tooling used for the quarter panels.

Exactly why are they wrong...surely someone has pointed this out, on a concours resto this would not do

Sorry - that is what I was talking about (the Challenger fenders).

Agree - surely it's as easy to get the shape of the cutouts correct as it is to get them incorrect. Anyway, they are not concours but they do fit without mods - just.
(unlike the rear valances :roll: )
