Trunk corner crooked

[Vinnie]

Hello party people!

I bought these trunk corners from CJ recently:

It looks like the side that connects to the top of the quarter is crooked. Should it not be straight? Can anybody confirm mine is OK or if I should make it straight?

Thanks,

Vincent.

Does it say on the back side in small print: "I am not a crook!"?

So annoying when you receive parts that are not pristine as they should. Reminds me my trunk floor that came new last year 1/2 covered in starting rust...

Fixing, is really easy and you'd "uncrook" it in no time (the line that matters is the one below), but they should not send parts like this.

Another case of "I'm paid to pack parts and do not look, know or care if they're ok even if obviously wrong, I just pack for a living..."

Here, let me fix that for you...

"I'm paid minimum wage with no training and all management cares about is that I get it in the box and out the door"

Accountability for stuff like this starts at the top and must be forced down through an organization. FWIW, if you want the best service, stick with Ohio Mustang or NPD.

If one is interested in used items, both  Ohio Mustang and Motorcity Mustang are two I feel confident about using.

Just for the record, the LH corner is the same **** quality...

The reason it has all the wrinkles is it was formed by doing a Crash Form. They had no draw pad to restrict the flow of the metal. It is like you take a piece of tin foil and try and form it wrinkles everywhere. The real tool had a pad or cushion to restrict the flow of the metal and keep it cleaner. 

Have you ever looked closely at an original Camaro? The factory metal is as bad as the Taiwan repo is. I love to point that out to my friend that does restorations. He is more of a GM guy.

The wrinkles are the least of my concern, I guess I can hammer those out. What I do need to know is wether or not that flange going up to the quarter's top needs to be 100% straight instead of curved like this...

I checked two parts cars none a 100 % straight, neither are as curved as that part  last picture is edge of trunk lid

Sorry these pictures seemed better when I was taking them yesterday

Also the trunk lid is not straight either

Very disappointed with the Dyna-corn part! Cheap Taiwanese -Made Near China Crap!

Yeah, there is a tiny bit of curve inwards but my corners actually curve a lot outwards. I’ll fix them then. Pity I need tp spent time on that. Robably adds another year to my project ;-)
