I don't do body work for a living, but for what it's worth, I've seen posts where guys who do have spent thousands on NOS panels and they still need as much work as anything else.
One theory was that the more the tooling was used the less precise the parts were coming out of it. Then there's the fact that production methods weren't as good as they are now so panel fitment from car to car was probably slightly off. Plus anything from 60s and 70s has probably has probably twisted, settled, tweaked, etc over the years.
