Sorry I didn’t and honestly wouldn’t even know what I’m looking at and that’s why I asked. Thanks

Look at the picture with the trunk open. You can see how the new quarter was installed.

Yeah, even I do better work that that.

They did nothing to attempt to blend it at all. It reminds me of the early "restoration" parts that fit over the original and just welded on like this.
I agree on the color though, that is beautiful.

Looks like they were trying to retain the 1970-only square impression in the jamb under the door striker by attaching a re-pop quarter shell TO it. You need a person who knows their way around a TIG welder to attempt something like that. Not a good look.

That’s what I was thinking as well! My body guy knows what a nut I am, and hammer and dollied the AMD quarters to the original square indent! I slept well that night!

Not sure I buy that explanation since the passenger side has the later "banana" indent and the car is way too early for that to be original. In other words, why save one square indent and not the other? Not sure why the passenger side would receive a full quarter and the driver side just a skin...and a poorly installed one at that!
