Good evening everyone
Been awhile since I have been on here. I am finally in a position to start working on my Cuda again. I am wondering how is the repop sheet metal now? On my 1970 Cuda I have to replace the following:
Fenders
Quarter panels
Quarter extensions and wheel wells
Inner fenders
Trunk pan (maybe)
Floor pan (maybe)
Dutchman panel (maybe).

Also is AMD or Goodmark for the best for fitment?

Thanks for any advice given


For the absolute best powder coating go to J.I.T powder coating, contact infomation is in my personal profile..

AMD is the probably the best out there like the others have referenced.

From what I've been told by others in the hobby, do not remove the entire section of original sheet metal, if you don't have to. The new sheet metal is not the same quality/dimension as the original and may lack key characteristics (e.g. swales in metal) that will require hours to attempt to replicate.
