Bought a set of repo wheel opening moldings for a 1970 Coronet from Metro... front fit great, rears not so good!  Anyone else out there doing these??? My car has the original sheet metal so that's not the problem........ Tnx, Bryan

Not that I'm aware of; the repops really are POS aren't they? I have a new quarter on the pass side but the drivers is original......and the mouldings don't fit either one!
I've been patiently waiting to find a good used or NOS set, but I've just about given up and will try to mount the stupid things.

Mine fit pretty good front & rear... But I started by welding up the original mounting holes, put them in place with spring clamps, shifted for best fit, worked them as needed then drilled new holes..

I'd leave them off but the car had them and rocker moldings so.... they are all going back on! I'll fit them as best as possible and wait for a better option....
Tnx,
Bryan

The ones I bought for my Dart from Metro needed lots of massaging to get on. They look good now but they did not just go right on as is.

The ones from Dale's Cuda shop fit EXCELLENT...
So just to confirm, you bought these for a '70 Coronet and had no fitment issues? ....especially on the rear? Did the holes line up?
I don't mind spending ANOTHER $300.00 and adding a 3rd set of WOM's to my inventory IF I'm sure they aren't the same as the garbage I already have and they are made by a different vendor.....

Board member Gary Plessinger FY1TA who painted the car put them on while he still had the car at his shop. He seemed happy with the installation, and I am very happy with the finished results. I don't doubt he had to redrill some holes. I have dealt with plenty of e body repop WOMs so I know the struggles. I was surprised on how well the DCS ones fit what I think is a more complicated body line on the 70 coronets

Boy, my ears went up! I would like to see the photos of Dale's installed and I will keep tabs on this. I was going to leave mine off, but I have the vinyl top and the dress up trim on the belt line I want to use, so it just seems like the those lips will look naked without. Now about those parts, Bryan... 
I’m listening.

I'll be in the garage and get a parts list for ya along with pictures of the FK-5 dash pad. PM me your email again...
Also, I just ordered the wheel opening moldings from "Dales Cuda Shop" so I should have them in a few weeks..... they are NOT made by Metro and they've had no issues with them so... I'll give them a try and let ya know how they fit w/pictures.

Ok, got the set in from "Dale's Cuda Shop" and first thing noticed was the pre-drilled holes & screws included!!!!! So they've been test fitted and with very little massaging fit great!!! Both front and rears are almost perfect........
Also, I had mentioned when I was ordering that I was a member of "Moparts" and they offered a 15% discount and USPS shipping to Canada!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pic's to follow once painted and installed...
