door hinge & sheet metal quality

I need to replace a door / fender and hinges on my 85 K30. How well does the repro fenders and doors fit and who makes the best door hinges?

Best hinges? Sourced some original used ones. Far as sheet metal it's hit n miss. I ordered from lmc and it wasn't awful, but you could tell it was thinner. Still worked out fine though.

Re: door hinge & sheet metal quality

I used an AMD roof skin on my GTO, it was a nice part, also installed a GoodMark radiator support in a chevy II, also nice. Back in the early 80's I worked at a shop and we installed aftermarket fenders on chevy pickups, I could've made better fenders! I'm trying to avoid going thru all that again, probably should find used OEM.
