Default ANOTHER OER Brand FAIL!

Hi Guys,
Rear upper trim panels for '68 standard interior. The fit and finish were so poor I can't believe they've ever sold any of these to anyone who kept them. The panels I received looked like they had been "re-worked" by someone at some point and then returned and re-shipped out to me. There were hammer marks on the under side of the upper metal panels, rivets holding the felts in place. I think the pics show how bad they are. I did contact Classic Industries (they ARE friendly and helpful) to explain the problem. They asked for pics and description of the problem. They pulled the remaining panels off the shelf to check for a better set but said all in stock panels looked as poor as the ones they'd sent me. They are sending a return tag and will refund my cost.
Now, can anyone recommend another supplier that you've used, for a good quality panel? I need complete, assembled panels, uppers only in black which shouldn't be too difficult to find. I would consider a good pair of used panels.
I just can't stress enough how poor the quality of OER Brand has been during my restoration process. I've spent upwards of $7,000 with Classic Industries on this car alone and the hit and miss rate has been about 50/50 regarding usable reproduction parts.
Best,
Greg
