I'm looking for lower quarter replacement panels for my Tudor sedan. The section from behind the door up to in front of wheel.
Dennis Carpenter has them for $60 pair and look very generic,
Bob Drake has them for $200 with a black Friday sale 20% off and free shipping = $160.
EMS automotive is selling them for $115 each side.
When I did my coupe early 2000's a friend did my body work and said the panels from EMS (only ones I knew of at the time) needed work to fit.
I want to try to avoid as much work to make them fit and would like to hear from you guys that had first hand experience with fitment from different suppliers.

your friend is right they are junk. carpenters are not much better. drakes are the best by far and most accurate.
 
Thank You fotfod, they seem to be the best priced also. Carpenter is cheaper yet looks like a curved piece of sheet metal. That is where I will buy it from.
 
Most of the inexpensive panels for that area leave off the step at the bottom were it faces the running board
