Hi Norm
I've used a lot of your products
Progress
Over the 2 years it has taken I can say shipping was excellent. The people I spoke to on the phone were knowledgeable. As for the stampings the parts are of a good gage of metal and generally straight. They have a very tough e-cote / or primer on them. One of the rockers I received appeared to be galvanized and the e-cote came off. The front fenders are very nice but it is either the second or third clip from the front on both fenders that is reversed on my car or your fenders. The square for the clip and the hole for the bolt are reversed. On the driver’s side front fender when you line up the "corner where the fender meets the windshield support some of the stamped holes for the clip/bolt did not line up. They did at the front but when you went to the back they were gradually out by about 1/4 inch. On one of the outer rockers the stamped drains were not in the same place as my car. The match to the rocker and rocker support are a little rough.
But having said all that, all of the body parts I received were very good or in the worse case usable with a little effort. Also, I believe the early cars were handmade so extra fitting may be required.
For a point of reference this is the first time I have ever done any bodywork.

P.S. I will buy from RD without hesitation again.
