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!

Restoration Design located in Ontario is superior, including their customer service. Joe Blow can call and speak with one of the owners and get positive results. I would bet OEM is probably the best, but availability and $$ leave something to be desired.
