Are there good reproduction panels?

RS/SS BB 4 speeds?
For the best most accurate panels assembly line installed metal is the BEST ROUTE-
Personally I will patch original fenders quarters etc before dealing with the inaccuracies of reproduction panels--plus Assembly line sheetmetal is dated for the week it was produced.

I have used metal from different manufacturers and GM metal is best. But I recently received some metal from AMD and I gotta tell you that it is of very good quality and fit. Original guage metal too. Fit and finish close to original is important to my builds.
