Chuck,

Roseville Auto Parts and E Body Products both carry AMD which is what just about everybody will agree is the best sheet metal parts to buy.

Shipping costs might be a determining factor so ask what it will be for them to send out to you. One place near me is called RPS Restorations. Anything big I don't pay shipping. He buys in bulk orders and I just go pick it up.

Dave at Roseville has treated me good.

Are you going to replace the sheet metal while the car's on the rotisserie?

I'd recommend Roseville and E Body products. I'm in the middle of getting all the sheet metal for my car and both companies were great to work with and really knowledgeable.

I agree that AMD sheet metal fits the best. This is all that I use. Stefan over at Elite Custom Autobody gave me the best prices and service so I recommend Him.      http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=5134879&an=0&page=0#Post5134879

Not sure about Stefan, but David as one... http://www.rosevillemoparts.com/index.php

I think he gives cuda-challenger members a better price so you might want to pick up the phone and call him direct at 586-859-2575.  He's not only saved me a bunch of money, but has given me some really good tips and tricks.

Stefan has given me the best pricing as well. Very easy to do business with. I am not saying anything negative about anyone else, but Stefan just gave better prices.

If you're in no hurry, go to the best Mopar Car show near you and check all the vendors out.
They might actually have what you're looking for right there on the spot. Ask what brand it is of course.

The vendors here I mentioned earlier I'm sure all give outstanding Customer Support and fast delivery.
Or they wouldn't be here still.

When I bought my quarter panel when they were first being made; I got a Goodmark early production. Only thing available at the time. It required alot of work to get it factory fit correct.

AMD has the best for detail, size, shape and fit.  Yes you pay a little more money but it is well worth it!!!

A few months ago I bought a set of rear valance brackets from Goodmark and was a little disappointed. The part felt thin (still the same thickness as stock), cheap and .. well, just not like a Dodge part should be.

I since heard nothing but good stuff about AMD so I decided to give them a try. I have so far bought -
Front bumper (best quality versions)
Rear bumper (best quality versions)
Rear valance
Rear bumper filler

And I'm very happy!!! AMD will sale directly to you and the customer service is great!!! In fact they mentioned I would be getting one of the first productions of the rear valance and they needed a few extra days to make sure it was correct in every detail and measurment using a CMM (hows that's for detail and honesty) before sending.
