The early 32V Mustang stuff is getting harder to get but yes there are lots of early quality Mustang parts. I've been amazed at the poor quality of replacement A parts - The majority of replacement parts I've purchased all needed a little work to get it to fit/work correctly.

I hear ya. Not to take away from the original post I guess to sum up my thoughts, why can't they make GOOD Model A Ford parts? They do for the early generation Mustangs? It would be a lot simpler.
Maybe it is economy of scale, there are just a lot more early Ford Mustangs being restored
You can buy a reproduction Mustang front fender prep it paint it bolt it on and go. Try doing THAT with a reproduction Model A fender! You'll have as much or more money in the thing trying to get it to fit!
