I am soon replacing two of my quarter panels on my '73. I have heard horror stories of aftermarket panels that don't fit properly. Any recommendations on where to purchase them from..Thanks

As far as I have seen there is a single manufacturer for these. The look good but do require fitting. Better as a patch panel than complete replacement. Last one I did, i fit the panel int the place of the old one which I entirely removed. The clecoed into place olong the top edgr, the fit to the rear tailight section as this has the most bow to it. I adjusted the bow by making kerf cuts in the edge so I could bend it without distorting the metal. Once that was clecoed in, I fit it to the striker post which entailed more kerf cuts and having to rebend the lio to make it fit (was originally too long). It now looks good. I have some finishing to to, But bowing is correct.
