Default Replacement Quarters 68 Bird, what Brand?

68 Firebird Coupe needs new quarter panels...I'm leaning toward Goodmark. Any suggestions or experience, thoughts ideas to share?

I just did a set of Dynacorns on a 1967 Firebird Convertible and I was happy with them.

I avoid Goodmark whenever possible. AKA i.d.c. brand.

Oh Nooo! I ordered a Goodmark full panel for the passengers side. What has been your experience with them? What do I need to be aware of with this panel. Further I checked out your 68 resto pics...great stuff. What did you use to secure the new panel? Epoxy or welding? Or both? Any advice is greatly appreciated. This is my first attempt at a quarter. Thanks.

I glue the drip rail and quarter to deck filler flange and weld the rest in the factory locations.
