Outer wheelhouse fit

    I'm in the process of replacing the quarters on my car, which naturally leads to wheelhouse repair. I have the full AMD quarters, and when trial fitting the AMD outer wheelhouse to it, the lip behind the door and the area that goes into the rocker is way off. It kicks in towards the body about an inch too far and the lip on the wheelhouse is way out of alignment with the lip on the quarter. Anyone else run into this? The metal I cut out of the old wheelhouse matches the new quarter perfectly, so I don't think it's an issue with the quarter. I see Goodmark also makes a wheelhouse. Does anyone have any experience with how it fits versus the AMD wheelhouse? Or should I just hack up the new wheelhouse until it fits?

    I'll try and post some pictures later.

    All aftermarket sheetmetal requires modification/attention, one reason why I patch 90% of the time, unless of course its just too far gone, but AMD is the best metal around ive seen, so if it doesn't fit the tiawanee stuff from other vendors surely wont, id try to keep the original and use parts off the new one
