I have been working on my doors lately.  I have a set of power window doors, but opted to go with manual.  Fixing the rust in my manual doors.  The power window doors would have been cool, but I didn't want the headache with them messing up in the future.  I had to patch a place the size of a credit card on the bottom of my driver door.  The car has a new 1pc floor, tail panel, 4-speed hump, and fenders from Sherman.  How is everyones fit on the 70 Cuda Fenders.
 
Just for the record, I had a tail panel from AMD and sent it back for very poor taillight fit.  They said my taillight bezels were warped.  I had 4 different sets of taillight bezels and none of them would fit properly in the AMD panel.  For some reason, the 71 bezels even fit worse than the 70 bezels in the panel.

I found that the taillight bezels fit better with the Sherman tail panel unit.

Nice project, looks solid! I'm finishing my '70 (3 years when done) so if you need any help at all drop me a line. You'll find this forum to be invaluable.  :cheers:
