I need to put a new floor and rear quarter panel on my 68. Any suggestions who is the best company to buy from?

Sorry I can not answer your question but I think we should make a sticky when we decide which is the best. Maybe the guys that make the best floors are not the one's that make the best Quarters.

Can you use a quarter Skin? Based on what i am seeing price wise there has to be variation in quality. I saw a NOS OEM quarter for $2200! :O For that to be worth it there would need to be serious work to get an aftermarket quarter spot one.

So, just finishing up a similar project, as RIcky Camaro is now in the upholstery shop for 'finish carpentry' work. We replaced both rear quarters, the passenger inner wheel well, both front fenders and skirts, and the pan from bottom of firewall to front of trunk. When I saw your question, I asked the owner of the restoration shop handling my job, and he responded this morning to the effect that there is an incredible amount of crap out there, but he has never yet been burned with OER or AMD. He indicated build quality is high: "With minor to no tweaking, I've used both with full success." If you want to see what this all looks like, go to the 1st gen build section for the RIcky Camaro near-novel, with lots of pics.

I've been asking some guys and I keep hearing AMD and Goodmark are pretty good. Haven't talked to anybody who ordered OER but I think they sell Goodmark. Summit also sells Goodmark.
