Not wanting to split hairs or start an argument but a good percentage of repop sheet metal comes from the same place regardless of who you buy it from or who's label is on it. It is correct gauge (almost all of it is these days) but it's not the same metal. Most guys wouldn't notice the difference but a good, experienced welder/bodyman will tell you welding affects it differently than good old USA made steel. even planishing or shrinking an area where a repop patch has been installed can be a nightmare if you're trying to get it as nice as possible.
I have had good luck with AMD stuff. I had to cut the hell out of their quarters for a 72 nova to get them to fit...it's something of a crap shoot...but i've fought to get NOS stuff to fit as well.
