Replacing quarter panels..replace cut-outs or get aftermarket?

[plothead]

i havent found any good original quarter panels. im looking to go uncut, so my options are to weld in someone elses old cut-outs or to go aftermarket and replace the whole thing.
any suggestions?
thanks

I went the aftermarket route. (still in the process)..I didn't want to wait around for someone elses cut outs, plus they would have to be cut right or you're screwed...I'm replacing the taillight corner also so I wanted new sheetmetal all around...my quarters were pretty bad though..

*edit*..just a friendly warning, be aware that when you start cutting out full sections of metal, one often leads to another!! and the aftermarket ones are really thin..good luck with your choice!

Save your old corners the reproductions I have seen are better than nothing but not nearly as good as the factory origionals.

One of these days a vender will put out a decent panel.

There are a set of OE quarters on Ebay the last few weeks, $1800 though for both sides. I have the info if needed.
