Johnny, on higher volume smaller parts like partial floor pans, 3 piece trunk pans, early Mustang sheetmetal, '67-69 F body trunklids, there are often different sets of dies & different levels of mediocrity. The inherant cost to produce that die is not obscene like it is for a large intricately shaped hood, or one for a low demand small part. On larger items that incur a massive cost to reproduce there is typically one set of dies & it gets "shared".

Am not acquainted with the offerings of a repro outer wheel housings for an early 2nd Gen, If one marketed stamping fits better than another company's boxed product that would be a question for the owners of several professional restoration facilities. One of PY's long term members had the '70-73 Bird rear 1/4's, outer tail panel, & inner tail panel reproduced in Taiwan, & those panels were, & are marketed by Goodmark. Am glad we have those parts.
