I have wondered about this from an engineering perpective:
Since it's probably waaaay too expensive to make dies in the US, I'm guessing that Dynacorn contracts some taiwan company to make dies. Even in the far east, I'll bet there aren't too many companies who do work for the niche car restoration industry. So, even if a die company/stamper totally bungle some job (like the 66-67 gto quarters), there's no choice to go elsewhere; you have to wait for them to get around to it.
I did some searching to see how sheetmetal stamping is done and I came upon this from youtube:

Just look at the size of that machine. But of course, we're waiting for the dies, not the machine.
