I see amd has started making parts(sheet metal) for the classic Chevy trucks.As good and accurate as their body parts are for classic muscle cars, this is probably a good products as they try to keep the same thickness as original and do good work on the stamping lines.Prices didn't look too bad either.

a hundred bcks for a fender and a hundred and thirty nine for a door.
If thay fit as good as OEM, I then would say their prices are very reasonable.

Mark Worman of Graveyard Carz and Welbys Collision swears by them and they do appear to be a very good quality product. He uses them on 6 figure 100 point show cars.

After seeing amd on gyc, I might try some of their parts.

For that kind of money, I think they are just offering the same overseas parts you can get anywhere else...

from what I have read, most after market giants such as AMD and GOODMARK AND others are made overseas.

The tooling to make the parts is made in the U.S. yes they allow foreigners to stamp the panels... still the end result is a quality product of the same thickness as it should be. The tooling is what REALLY matters

I got a set of their fenders for my 80 Camaro - they fit pretty good and the price was reasonable. I'd recommend them.

This is true for the most part. However, it seems that on the lower budget vehicles that are becoming popular to restore (these trucks and the 3rd gen F-body are a perfect example), they are simply reselling the same aftermarket crash replacement parts that have been available for years. The parts for older vehicles were not already available, so they were forced to develop new tooling. This is purely my assumption, but that assumption is based on fitment.
