OK guys, bear with me a minute. First off I am not stupid. I have been around trucks a lot longer than I want to admit including othere AD's. NEXT: I do not expect an exact/perfect fit. I am no dummy. I have not seen a perfect fit one yet. Yes, I know all about tweaking, heating, bending, etc. This is not my first restoration by any means. I had the guy who has been doing body, building street rods, from near nothing, stretching studebakers into limo's, and lot of other stuff for over 30 years come and look at my truck. He came to my shop, looked at my panels and he laughed. Basically he said why didn't I save my money, he could make one better than what I got from CP. Adam admits the panels came from overseas so no big deal. I do expect a panel that I can work with....not one that I have to re-construct. I have actually been reading and part of the Stovebolt for almost 10 years and after listening to all the gripes thought I could help us help ourselves, and others on this item. I have been around the block a few times. Worked for chev dealer in early years and in the fabric industry even made the fabric and headliner that is in at least 50% of the new cars today before retirement. To think a vendor will not listen to the masses you are wrong. If CP wants to improve their product and be a good supplier they will take a look then another look to improve. As long as folks keep taking what is dished out the actual panel maker thinks he is doing a fantastic job and will never change things. Oh, and Adam did not refuse a RGA # as someone indicated it was that I ask for one and I may have it. I have not checked email yet tonight but will shortly. I even emailed Adam a few forum post about the quality of panels etc. If you do not expect better you will not get it. For those that take the time to try at least we know we have tried and have the right to complain. Oh, one last thing, I, ME, have the panels laying on my work table looking at them. If it was close I would not have said a word but when the differece is obivious it should be fixed. Now I think I will check mail. Looks as if I am beating a dead horse, though I never intended for anyone to automatically agree.
