There are NO good aftermarket panels for C bodies out there period. All of the ones out there no matter who is selling them or who's name is on them are all basically the same lousy very inaccurate stamping. In this particular ad that isn't even the right panel for what they're advertising it for. Until AMD starts making them which will never happen if you can't source good used panels you might as well save your money and make them from scratch.Why do you say that ?
Any experience with them ?

that is a perfect example of what i was trying to illustrate above. it shows everything that i was trying to explain. it can be done but it takes a lot of slicing and dicing in the wheel opening to get the curvature right. removing the indent under the body line is proving difficult and i'm not sure what if anything can be done to fix the taper of the body line.Here is the FLAT (in three planes) replacement panel overlaid on an a 72 Fury.
Can you see how it's impossible to "wrap" the panel in all three planes and have everything line up? It can't be done.

Try conforming a playing card to the surface of football without wrinkling it. You can't.
You can't curve a playing card in two planes at once.

No need to. Buckminster Fuller did it for you.I have to give this some thought.
how did you remedy the front to rear taper on the body line?I used some of those on my 71 Fury Gran Coupe (pics attached) a few years ago. Not the best quality panels. These are the same low quality that come from one provider and many different sellers at greatly different prices. Here are a couple others on eBay:https://www.ebay.com/itm/69-71-Plymouth-Fury-Right-Lower-Quarter-Panel-2-Door, or: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Plymouth-Fury-2-or-4-Door-Quarter-1-4-Panel-Left-1969-1971 at lower prices.
Quality is about a "D". Fit about a "C-". Availability is a "B". If there were any other choices out of the rust-free West, I"d recommend it, but if you are in Ohio, Michigan, PA, etc, the rust forces you to go with what you can.View attachment 258293
