Not a body man but I've done several muscle car resto's.
Best advice I can give you is be careful of the cheap shit. Most of it is from Asia and they make the die's/presses/mold's from actual parts and it NEVER fits like the good stuff.
If it's just a beater then no worries but if you are doing it right you can get American made body parts that are made using the original molds that will fit perfect.
In fact I just saw an episode concerning this very subject on Trucks ( http://www.truckstv.com/ ) a couple of weeks back and this is who they recommended if I remember correctly (link from their website) http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/fd/t1.html
Edit: Clarify - not a body man for a living, but I've done quite a bit during resto's up to and including lead work.
