Looking to do some panel replacement on a 68 –doors or door shins, rockersand some floor (including trunk) on a 67. Whose panels are recommended? Any good or bad experiences. Any step by step procedures on floor replacement o the 67?
Thanks!

The majority of them are made by one company in Taiwan, but sold under different names. AMD suposedly has their own dies, but they are still made in Taiwan.
The fit on the AMD panels is good, and in my opinion, better than the the other "Made in Taiwan" brands.
There is a company that makes panels in the USA. The company is EMI (Experi-metal Inc) and they sell through a few distributors. -Sherman, Cars1 Inc, and believe it or not Rockauto.com (cheapest)
The USA panels are thicker and a MUCH better quality. (also a lot more $$) However, all aftermarket panels/skins are going to need a bit of work to make them fit. It all depends on how much time vs money you have.
Are you replacing pieces of the floor, or the whole thing?

Thanks for the information My 68 needs a patch in the floor pan, 67 needs a trunk. Thinking about new quarters on the 68 because of large tires that we previously installed by previous owner put 2 3" buckles in the quarter panel
