Default 69 Firebird Quarter Panels

I'm in need of quarter panel and door skins on my 69 Firebird. AMD produces the door skin, but do not produce the quarters for the Firebirds. I have located a passenger NOS quarter for $1000, but I would still need to purchase the driver side in an after market quarter. All the research I come across references the Camaro. There seem to be limited information on the fitment of the after market panel for the Firebird. I'm hoping I can get some feed back from individuals that have came across fitment issues, and the quality of panels. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I put repop quarters on my 69 six years ago and it took some massaging to get them to fit. The fit around the tail panel was not great. Not sure if the parts available today use the same tooling.

Thanks Don! I pulled the trigger and order the Quarters from Yearone and the door skins from AMD. The car was in primer when purchased last year, and began having cracks in the primer. I took Tim/GAP advice and had it media blasted. Typical story, butchered panels and a rolling bondo bill board. The saga begins! Thanks again!
