I would use AMD hands down.Their customer service is great and I never had a hick up dealing with them.
Sold a bunch of AMD parts including full quarters for 68 Satelite to a local customer, he is very happy.
I agree. AMD hands down, imo.

I had AMD quarters for a challenger. Both sides had to be modified to fit. I'll try another brand next time. The only way I'd rate customer service as good, is if they'll take them back with a full refund.
amd customer service sucks all they did was waste my time
i had to buy 2 PAIRS of outerwheelhouses to get one pair that fit!

Does anyone else have experience with Sherman?? Can get 2 skins for a good price...
Word to the wise...
When it comes to mopar sheet metal Here's a typical Shermans scenario... Buyer beware
1) Shermans will sell you 2 skins for a very decent price 2) You pay the "decent price" plus frieght... 3) You open box and the decent price skins are pitiful at best numerous dents etc... not total junk mind you ...but rough 4) Shermans is happy to refund your order IF and only IF YOU PAY REVERSE FRIEGHT! 5) or Shermans may discount the price of the skins maybe 25% off..
either way you, the paying customer are stuck with 1 of 2 options
1)You pay freight TWICE for panels you NEVER use or 2) You're stuck with 2 skins that aren't worth the effort to put on a car.... or at best you HAVE to use body filler on the ENTIRE side of the car to straighten it out....
Still intersted in Shermans?
My personal recommendation - GO WITH AMD all the way....

I live just a couple of miles from them... I hung a couple of quarters on a 70 Charger... I spent way more time getting them to fit and a ton of time getting them straight... but I didnt have a choice... they were the only ones to be had

My experience with Shermans was a collection of relatively expensive repair panels. They worked, but not without a lot of labor. Fit and finish were not consistent with the price paid. In my case they were the only source that had what I needed. This was 4-5 years back. A customer feedback card came with the shipment. I filled it out and returned it with my input. Never heard anything back.
Lead, follow or get the hell out of the way

It's more the fitting of the skin I am interested in... Would Sherman be a good option without too much work?
Save the money heartache and aggravation, go with AMD or forget it...especially since you are over seas...

Which brand is better to replace both quarter panels of a Plymouth Satellite? I'm als considering partial or full quarter panels...
comparing the panels- they don't compare. AMD skins are heavy guage metal. They have the dogleg at the rocker joint. They fold into the taillights opening like original they are the right dimensions they have sharp folds like original the AMD skins are their actual full 1/4's with the top portion removed.
the Sherman panels are the same old no name skin, that have been available for 20 + years. They are thin guage and lumpy They have no dogleg they kInda fold over at the taillights opening- not even close to correct there they are oversized- can actually fit right over top of the cars original 1/4. The door jamb fold is soft and doesn't look right I have used these skins many times and they will work but now with the AMD panels available, there is no way I'll ever go back.
I can't comment on the Goodmark skins. Haven't seen theirs in person but I know they were selling the same generic skins too.

I went on AMD's web site last night. I'm impressed with all the parts I seen on there! I just wish they made stuff for my 73-72 plymouths. I asked about 1/4s for 73-74 roadrunners and fenders for chargers. and this is the respons i got this morning Mike, Right now we just have the lower rear quarter patch. It’s possible we will make a larger panel at a later date but nothing is currently in development. No plans on the 71-up Charger fenders. Sorry that I don’t have better news.
