These new body replacement parts, tubs included suck. The metal is thinner and don't always line up properly. 

Now if your tub is so far rotted then yes a new one would be more cost effective, but this one only needed a front pan and one side cowl so is was better to just replace those parts.

Did I mention new sheet metal *expletive deleted* but dead donkeys like it.

Geese, Sauceman, don't sugar-coat it, why don't you tell us how you really feel?  Wink

Body panels are like anything else, you buy quality, you get quality. You buy cheap, you get cheap.
