If the part is listed as available but no stock and on back order then they would appear to be meeting the 10 year rule.

They are probably waiting for a 100 or so orders to justify having them pressed.

What Ford don't seem to realise is they could probably sell a 1000 rear quarter and front wing sets if:

They were actually on the shelf and a more reasonable price.

The alternative would be for Ford to sell the dies to an aftermarket panel seller who would be willing to use them.
I bet Ford would sooner scrap the dies than alow someone else to use them.

I'm sure quite a few RS's have been scrapped due to non availablity of parts, not just quarters, front knuckles don't seem to be available either
