This sounds too good to be true. Have been waiting for these for years. I sure hope this isn't another false alarm

There were only about 300,000 '66-'67 GTO/Tempest/LeMans made. Why can't they find a decent car to take the measurements from? They can make $#%%&&^ WHOLE crappy Mustangs and Camaros but they can't make quarter panels for us? |

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: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydoEJnwMlnk Just look at the size of that machine. But of course, we're waiting for the dies, not the machine.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
