I like AMD specifically because they use correct gauge sheet metal, and so far their tooling seems to be about the best out there. Do BOP cars have their own version of Auto Metal Direct to source QTR's, doors skins & shells, fenders, wheel houses etc? I have become allergic to the thin gauge Asian sheet metal panels and simply will not use them anymore.

I see NOS or very good used 72 GTO fenders online selling for crazy money, and not sure there are even any repos available?
Its funny you say that I have a friend that had a pair of NOS quarters for his 71 GTO and he sold them 20 years ago for $3500.00 for the pair. I thought that was crazy money back then. And the messed part was he had the car for them, actually a convertible.
