1968 Need suggestion for driver side apron

I'm having some work done on my GT/CS and the repair shop has already replaced the right side apron in the front fender area. I am having a difficult time getting a good left side apron sourced to have it put in. I keep getting the same crappy quality parts that are missing bolt holes and such on the part. It has been reordered 6 times now, and rejected all 6 times.

I know that for sheet metal it appears that everyone buys from the same vendor out of Taiwan or China somewhere, so it looks like they have had a run where there are QC issues :rolleyes: SHOCK.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to get around this, or happen to know of a shop/location that might have inventory on hand of the driver's side apron that would not be from this run (old stock, not necessarily NOS)?
Thanks,
Robert

I would think that missing bolt holes, is better than wrong location bolt holes. Just need a drill.

Dynacorn, and I think Spectra Premium are the only games in town. May be missing a supplier. We stock them where I work, not sure if they are missing holes or not :eek:. Used is another alternative, kind of spendy, the driver side is fairly easy to locate. Passenger side is almost impossible because of the battery.
