Goodmark Quality

[RJChallenger]

Finally got some poor quality Goodmark parts this last week. Spent the last couple of days completely removing all traces of the inner wheelhouses and trunk drop offs in preparation of all new panels. Finally opened the packages and found the passenger inner wheel house almost 2" longer than the drivers side. The drivers side is perfect . the passenger side trunk extension has the rear lip bent in the wrong direction.Called the supplier and apparently I got the last of stock so can't exchange only returns available. AMD is twice the money plus shipping etc. Not sure what to do, I can fix the wrongly bent lip easy enough. Don't really want to patch up the wheel house as it will always look like shit compared the the new floor and trunk extensions and drivers side inner wheel house. I can get Dynacorn for slightly more money than  Goodmark, with a two hour drive to Toronto and back .But I've no experience with these products.Any opinions on Dynacorn good or bad?

Has anybody bought Dynacorn panels and been happy /unhappy with there purchase?

Not those pieces no. Generally though the quality is below Goodmark or AMD.

I have been using the least expensive metal I can get for my current project and dynacorn has actually been nice for me. I also used Goodmark wheel wells and the flanges were wavy like yours which makes spot welding them together a bitch. I also found that they weren't even at the bottom edge but I lined them up so I could get the nicest radius on the inside then put them into the car as a welded assembly. They went in really easy.

When I get to the drop offs at the trunk, I know I will be spending extra time making it all come together nice but I expect that. While the back edge sucks bad, the front edge and inside radius are nice. Plus they matched up extremely well to all the existing mounting points. While they went in really easy and look nice, I'm going to pay for it with extra labor as the trunk floor and drop offs go in.

Knowing what I know now, I'd avoid Goodmark and stick to Dynacorn or AMD. At least on pieces like this.

Curious where you bought your Goodmark wheel houses ?
You can get Goodmark parts at Cross Canada in Brampton, I'm sure if there is an issue you can return them easily...in fact they insist on an inspection before you even leave....Give them a BS company name and you'll get about 40% off their list of $137.00 CDN making the inner wheel houses only $85 CDN each plus tax.

I get stuff there quite a bit...

Dura chemicals, a auto body paint and supply place in Stoney Creek. Paid $110. Not sure where they got them. I drive by them on the way to one of the sites I contract at so it's convenient.I have bought directly from,Cross Canada in the past. I tried calling them Friday, got some nasty man in a bad mood, wouldn't even tell me if they had stock .I plan on calling them again in the morning, hopefully with more favorable results.

If you are returning them because of the wavy flange, I'd just spend ten minutes making them flat with a hammer and dolly.

I wish it was only the wavy lip, but no the passenger side is 2" longer than the drivers side.

Got nowhere again, with Cross Canada in Brampton. So I called Head quarters in Florida and found that a lot of Challenger parts including the inner fenders are out of stock in Canada as well as the U.S.A. The good news is that they have 4 containers full of product due from Taiwan in late June . So it looks like Dynacorn  or AMD if I want to continue working on the back half of the car.

I have Dynacorn quarters and Dutchman panel and I'm fitting it all now. I'm fairly happy with the fit so far and the exterior look is nice and sharp. Considering the trouble you ran into, I'd be very curious to see how much better the AMD ones are. This is one of those areas where being off here and there can really eat up your time.
