Are all Dennis Carpenter unassembled fenders this bad?

Thanks for the post. I'm just about to start ordering panels to replace my rot on the '69 i'm restoring and definitely just cross Dennis Carpenter off my list. I do not have time to rebuild new panels. Be easier to patch what I have then deal with that garbage. Good luck.

not a body man_
Most any pannels I get - have to B reworked a good bit. I'm some 1 who believes you MUST go back to the very initial (base) make sure where ever U R at that point - is perfect (frm frame out) & wrk ur way forward in pretty much perfection to get that last one right (hanging doors, fenders, anything)...many will not do that then don't know Y the final piece won't fit.
Carpenter claims to B 1 ofa few w/the ford orig stamping machines. May B thay don't maintain properly? May B Costomer services is off. May B U set up a confrontive relationship...none of this means anything as 'the customer is all ways right' & returning item should get some $ back). AG's office ("Consumer Protection Division") is the correct spot. Get nother fender while U wrk this process as it can take a v e r y long time.
I use LKQ (a notional, locally "Keystone") as they deliver & will accept the $ after I get paid. A pretty good deal for me (hate body wrk, stay away as much as possible).
