NorAm Parts?

[moparman73]

Anybody used NorAM sheet metal parts and know the quality? They have lower rear quarter patch panels for my Charger rather reasonable, just wanted to see if anybody here had used them and what is your opinion. http://www.noramstore.com/Dodge_Charger_73_74_Lower_Quarter_Panel_2_Door_p/0167761u.htm

I think my rear quarters with fist-size rust holes are also some of those "not for show cars" parts!!!

Seriously, though, thanks for the link. Have you personally used the tabco parts?

No, but that's what everyone reccomends. They're about halfway down on my list of things to get.

I have a sherman/goodmark panel that has good lines and curves, but it's kinda thin.

That Tabco part looks like it has good lines and curves in the pic.
Those that reccomended them to me said they were closer to the thickness of factory metal.

I've seen several parts that look similar to the one you posted. Lots of them are hand formed.
Some states (like Massachusetts) have laws that say you can't have any rust or rusted through panels showing on your car.
Conjecture on my part, bu I think those panel are made for quick fixes on cars that don't justify proper replacement panels.
Those cheap hand formed panels will fit, but they don't take the time to put the correct lines and curves in them to be "correct".

The description on the parts say "slip on" stick with Auto metal Direct, goodmark and Sherman(be selective).
