nothing like OEM parts

I have bought a lot of repop parts over the years and i guess i decided last night i had enough.I have bought this part from two different venders so far and neither will work with out a lot of cutting and rewelding to fit like the original. I know all parts will have to be worked a little bit, but this is jut to much. I might have to cut the whole end off and use the rusty OEM part to weld back on. I am talking about the drivers front floor peice and inner rocker combo. I will show some pictures of the OEM that i cut out and the repop peice. Looking at it from the end, the oem is a 45 degree and crisp corners and the ropop is who knows what degree and rounded. and angles are all wrong. Sorry for ranting,but maybe you guys can tell me what you have done in this area and if i can find one that will fit a little better. The lower piller and inside kick panel i have redone. and when i set the orignal floor peice back in it fits perfect. I keep old peices just for this purpose to check fit.
Sorry once again for complaining!
