I once had an entire restoration order including doors, fenders, grille, tailgate etc for a few of my trucks and sent most of it back, what I used ended up in the trash later down the road in favor of decent used parts. Bumpers that you could bend over your knee. Doors with ripples all over from an inadequate stamping press. Dents all over everything is normal. Rubber parts that disintegrate in a matter of months. A tailgate missing most of the welds, the welds it did have were made with a non-automotive grade spotwelder. Chinese symbols stamped right in the metal!! This was well over ten years ago.
