Maybe there's a difference between the years or tooling dates? These were off far enogh that you could see the problem when they were laying on the floor.

I bought my quarter panels just about 2 years ago.

The Goodmark trunk lid was JUNK imo. The skin was not welded to the inner brace. So it twisted when you opened and closed the lid and and shifted around and made it missaling. I had to spot weld the brace to the skin in order to make it more rigid and not twist but the grade of the sheemetal is way too soft or thinner or I dont know what it is, that when I put a few spots of MIg weld there on where the skin overlaps the brace the skin warped badly. And you know how Challenger trunk lid braces are completely shut so there is no way you can get anything under the brace in order to get rid of dents or waviness on the skin...what a pain. Also the edges of the lid were not straight. I say the Goodmnark Challenger lid is JUNK. I'll take an original that needs ruist repairs anytime.

I haven't seen a Goodmark lid. Mine was AMD. Iforgot to mention that but I edited it so as not to mislead anyone. Your Challenger looks great by the way. You took the hood apart? There's an idea. Mines pretty rusty inside also.

Yes I took the hood apart. Bodyworked the skin,..got rid of all the rust inside and welded it shut back up.

Yes, I thought it was strange that you were saying the Goodmark trunk lid was good. I can tell you it was CRAP. Now I have never tried an AMD lid. I willbuy one...all the stuf I have bought from AMD so far has been very nice.
