L67 is Ram Air IV and very desirable/valuable. Especially if you have the numbers matching drive train. Having the build sheet isn't too critical since you can order a report from Pontiac Historical Services (PHS) which will tell you all the options that were installed on your car when it left the factory. If you don't already have it, I recommend you get a PHS report just to make sure you know what you have and if you elect to share the report keep the last 3 or 4 digits of the VIN to yourself ;-)
NOS sheet metal is much preferred to reproduction sheet metal - I wouldn't even consider using repop on a car of your pedigree. Factory sheet metal from a donor car might be the best route to go since it can be purchased for less than NOS and you know it fit properly since the factory let it out the door.
As far as metal refinishing, there are many more experience people here that will hopefully chime in but if you have any photos you can share of how the car sits now that will help people advise the best course of action. Good luck with your resto!
