Default 1974 door panel crack, who is best retro supplier for quality?

Need to replace my right side door panel, saddle is the color; which vendor provides the highest quality, for the comparative price, for my 74? (But quality and color match are more important)

Tnx

The best I can tell Corvette America/Auto Accessories of America makes practically every door panel I've seen. They are just sold thru different vendors but they come from the same place. I think they match the colors great but unless your other panel is "perfect" you'll be able to tell. I'd buy 2. It would be kinda like replacing 1 seat cover. Check with Corvette America about NQP/blem panels. That's what I did. Good luck!! :D

Hey Bill....

I already IM'd you my answer. Details, details, details. I have a question for you. I've never even got into one of the C-5's, but have plans to rent one either over Thanksgiving or Christmas when I go home. I figure it's a decent way to get the idea of the new vettes over a 3-4 day period and have a cheap thrill without laying out $40,000. So, the question is....

"If someone was looking for a low milage C-5, are there any better years compared to others?" I think GM has always had their quirky years for things when they make major changes, so does it apply to any of the C-5's?
