Thanks, I have no idea why I called the front fenders, quarter panels, yes I know the difference😳. These parts came to go with the cats and band clamps I had. Also an adjustable push rod, oil filter cutter and an adjustable push rod.

I ordered a new headlight surround, two headlight bezels, in pieces and the wheel well trim as mine needs replacement when new paint goes on. RPM is still trying to get an ETA on rear quarter panels. Their prices are close to US prices and my Wife goes to Saskatoon every month so there will be no shipping charge. I will have to see if the quarter panels will fit in the trunk of the Challenger, when they come in😎.
Whoa, that’s a little more than a little dent IMO. Regardless if the price was good or not, I wouldn’t accept that!
I believe it is for clearance on the shift linkage. Yes, my tail pipe expander and impact should fix it right up, if the clearance isn't needed. That picture actually makes it look worse, than it actually is.
Hope they dented it before they welded the flange on. If not, it ain't gonna be flat. They seem nice though, esp for the price!
That looks to be the case. Everyone who has installed them has mentioned good fit and no mention of leaks. They will hang a bit low but my 70 has plenty of ground clearance. I am actually super impressed by the welds. Especially compared to the awful welds on my last set of Sanderson Shorties, which look like small children did the welds. And they were US made! The Chinese can make a good product, this is a good example.
So I have got my shop mostly free of water and have the dehumidifier going. I should be able start assembly of the 358 in the next few weeks. Of course rain this weekend. It actually might help thaw the ground. After Amazon ****ing around, not sending parts in stock for 2 weeks, the CC507 springs finally showed up. The KYB shocks have been sitting patiently waiting. The rear ride height will get fixed this weekend.
So the springs weren't bad to change, thanks to the one inch diameter solid steel bar about 5 feet long with a flat end. I kept it from the farm, probably at least 50 years old. It worked great to pry just enough space and use a 3 foot bar to tuck it in. Finally a proper rear ride height. The driver's side had more sag, noticeably shorter. The rear shocks were completely shot. The pic is with 2 spare tires and a fairly heavy container of parts and fluids in the trunk. Sure glad I went with the tallest option. The mystery box is my Performer RPM intake, it is going to Mark next week for SEFI conversion.
