I am in the process on getting all the EFI wiring together and I want it to something that can be easily unhooked so that I can plug it in on the dyno and stuff. Anyway, I want to use the circular panel type connectors on the firewall similar to what was used on that excessive 914 V8 as shown here....see the ones mounted in the lower right side of the picture...

I have found a supplier of plastic versions, but I want metal ones. Does anyone know where they can be found?

Digi-Key has them in small quantities. Mouser might, too. Bring money. The metal ones are all MIL-SPEC, and are $40-50 for ONE side of a shell (need two) for a typical connector of 12-15 pins. The pins are separate, and also pretty damned expensive. This stuff oozes quality, and I'm very happy Boeing uses them to keep several tons of airliner in the air, but I don't need to throw $500 at electrical connectors for a car. IMHO, the plastic ones work just as well, and are 1/10th the price, as they're not MIL-SPEC. Spend the money instead on a good crimper.
