Just received a rear deck filler panel and rear window repair panels from AMD.Heavy guage metal.Good thick steel-but the stamping leaves something to be desired.The panel has ripples alomg the two ends where it meets the 1/4 panels,and all the edges look too "soft".The trunk gutter stampings all look rounded instead of crisp bends too. The window patch panels are just that-patch panels.wavy,and made to bridge right over the deck filler panel instead of a proper flange. Have to say I was expecting nicer quality from AMD,especially considering these parts are available from other companies too.I was hoping they would make the top quality stuff that others don't. I have not fit the deck panel yet,so it might work just fine,but the wavy ends mean some work will be needed.

I am assuming 70 B-Body? I haven't seen this problem with other parts from them, please make sure you tell us EXACTLY what year and car you are using them for!
i don't think a 70 is available yet and if it is he got TEST pieces and SHOULD be telling AMD about it not like a little girl on the internet

The panels are for a 68-70 B body.Going on a 70 Coronet.The flaws are obvious,so they know.Once again JohnRR you find a way to turn all this negative.I was simply sharing info about new parts available.Yes,AMD has been informed.I still look forward to their new parts and I am not knocking the company or their efforts to produce parts we all need.
