Does anyone know of a manufacturer for classic mustang molding that uses
quality metals instead of that cheap, soft, ill fitting crap that Corvex
puts out?

No. However, you might start by going direct to suppliers and asking.
On a number of items, I have done direct contact, stated my problem
and asked if they have an alternative. I have had excellent feedback
from every company I have contacted.

I'd be willing to pay a bit more for better material and fit. I'm suprised
there's no other company out there making this stuff as they stand to make a
lot of money if they could make a better product than Corvex.

If it were me, I'd contact people like Scott Drake, Mustangs Plus,
etc, explain the problem and see what they say.

As for making a lot of money, that's a little off. How many classic
Mustangs still exist which need that (or any) particular part? Some
parts are more in need than others. And with the restomod movement, a
lot of those parts are not needed anymore.

Now, with the new bodies (ie 67/68 FB) becoming available, some parts
may increase in need, even as modern technology is installed.
