Until they offer aluminum front ends/full quarters for first gen and at least full quarter skins for second gen B-bodys I give them a big  
And if they did produce them?....then the excuse for not buying them would be "they're so gosh-darn spensive"....

That's an odd statement.. anyone who restores cars or races NNS better have a little money or they shouldn't be playing with old cars to begin with.

I thought about buying an old press and seeing what I can come up with. I used to do maintenance on auto manufactures stamping presses and worked closely with tool&die.... but have too much on my plate already..
So maybe they have too much on their plate too  . Sure, i would love to see them come out with certain parts. You guys should be old enough to know, you can't always get what you want.

A large, untapped market is the need for 70 Coronet full quarters. I currently need them and I'm holding off on buying ANYTHING from AMD until they make 'em.
Dave
I agree with you ... OEM style 70 Coronet Quarter panels
are sorely needed parts. As are 73/74 Dodge Charger quarter
panels...
When I last spoke to AMD they said low production numbers
(1 year only)...is what kept them from producing them,
same reason for 73-74 chargers.
But they produced 70 roadrunner pieces which were 1 year only panels.
True, if you only look at superbee/rt cars the numbers are low.
But if you count all of the 2 door hardtops Coronet440, Coronet500
the numbers are in line with the 70 roadrunner.
I personally don't own a superbee or R/T,
My car is a 70 Coronet 440.
Rest assured, I would be the first one
in line to buy them if they were made.
