I then bought the AMD's and they were fantastic! (thicker too) I also bought one AMD quarter for a '72 Road Runner, and it was great too. My opinion is... If you can wait for the AMD quarters to come in, do it!

I have did body work on amd and goodmark panels and there wasn't much difference in how straight they were from my experience. I do body/paint pretty much daily. One day I need to post all the issues I've had with amd parts... from terrible fitting deck filler panels, to b-body cowl panels that aren't the same dimensions as the factory cowl. 68 Road Runner, 69 Belvedere, 71 Challenger Vert 340 barracuda, 01 Ram CTD, 95 Ram, 04 Ram, 85 Daytona turbo Z 66 GTO, 06 Magnum RT AWD. 07 Ram CTD, 07 Ram

I have a set in my shop cause the 67 I am doing for a customer only needed very small patches on lower sections and couldn't force myself to cut up a set of OEm fastback style ones from AMD even at my dealer cost! I chose to get these Goodmark ones. If I was to have to put the full skin ones on I would stand a better chance of taking a flat stock sheet or metal and hammer and dolly a set out. Be just about as good! Ahead of the wheel house there is suppose to be a body line on lower area. Its not even half of what it should be. The gas door recessed area isn't even as defined as original. IMO i would run away from anything that is Goodmark after seeing these POS!! But that is just my .02 corey Contact Me about AMD Prices

Car has original everything else less the quarters and fit perfect up to the original wheel house, extension, etc... Certainly not perfect, but I'm more than happy with it. 68 Road Runner, 69 Belvedere, 71 Challenger Vert 340 barracuda, 01 Ram CTD, 95 Ram, 04 Ram, 85 Daytona turbo Z 66 GTO, 06 Magnum RT AWD. 07 Ram CTD, 07 Ram

I was actually shocked at how well they fit since I wasn't doing wheelhouses/extensions like most times I put quarters on a car. A coat of polyester and they'll be looking really good. I can say at this point I would use both 70/71 challenger and 69 rr style goodmark quarters again. I paid just over 400 a side for these ones from rockauto. Not sure what comparable amd quarters run. I can say for a fact, the deck filler panel from goodmark is 10 times better than the same amd panel... I put one in a 70 runner with amd quarters over the winter. I couldn't believe how poorly the amd panel fit and at over twice the cost.

Seems Goodmark is not as bad and AMD not as great. I have heard the AMD is slightly thicker than OEM sheet metal. Goodmark is the same thickness as OEM.

Goodmark got such a bad rap after amd came out, but it's no where near as bad as people make it sound! Your not going to install either without needing to do work to them. I did read goodmark went out of business in 2011 or something like that... they were bought out by keystone. Which is a big name in collision parts. Not sure if that changed anything for the actual goodmark parts or not.

Got them to fit but took alot of reshaping to use just the lower section. The other pic should be what little of the body line is in the front area of the skin. Far less than the original. Just my .02 from what i have seen on these qrts compared to the AMD I have used. Contact Me about AMD Prices

I had used several AMD panels and fenders and hoods in the last 5 years and I have felt there stamping quality and dimensions to be horrible. We just installed a hood on a 68 Roadrunner, this hood cost 700 plus with shipping. The car it was going on was a untouched and straight piece so it should have bolted straight on with little to no massaging . We had to cut the understructure on the right front corner to get it to follow the fender line . The hood inserts were not stamped deep enough and so this brand new hood ended up taking 15 hours of shop time to make it right. I realize that before AMD came around there was little to no hope of restoring some of these cars and I am sure not every piece they make is as bad as this hood was but I think they should do more quality control for each type of part before moving on to the next.

We just finished a 70 GTX that took pretty much all new metal from the firewall back. When calling AMD about several issues they acknowledged them, said they were working to correct some of them but were quite busy shipping parts. Overall I would give them a 70-75% rating on quality. www.tandmautomotive-omaha.com

This was just after the Goodmark full Challenger quarters came out, quite a few years ago now. We were very pleased with the fit overall- http://www.moparts.org/Tech/Archive/paint/8.html

I used an AMD hood on a 69 gtx and it was one of the best repop parts I ever used. I didn't have any of these issues. I was very impressed with it and took very little work before paint.
