1973 Pontiac TransAm Replacement Panels - Recommendations? - Pro-touring Project

[v8 stingray]

Hi Guys,
Hit a bit of rock bottom this week. Stripped the car and sent it for vapour blasting this week and what looked like a perfect body turns out to be far from it!
It looks like the car was shunted from behind, and the whole passenger rear quarter/door also got a bang.
Replacement '73 shells are not available here on this side of the Atlantic (Ireland) so I'm going to put the shell on a table and see if it needs to be straigthened on a jig. Assuming we get past that point I was looking to purchase new panels (quarter panel, door skins, tail light panels etc) but given the cost, shipping and where I live I wanted to get some advice as to the fit of these replacement panels.
I'm worried that cheap replacements will not fit properly and will cost a small fortune making them fit due to kinks etc.



I see new ones for sale from Firebird Nation, Classic Industries etc - anyone have any experience with these from a fit perspective?
