I am sorting out a '75 914 and will replace a lot of the sheetmetal. Are there differences in the replacement panels and sheetmetal quality from various manufacturers? I've worked on other makes where we have fit/QA issues with body metal from certain manufacturers. Is there a way to distinguish the sheetmetal manufacturers from suppliers other than price point? If there is a thread on this, just point me over to it - thanks!
