Default 1965 fast back with major rust

Hello all, I'm new here, and new to Mustangs. I have a '65 Mustang fastback that needs new quarters and a new floor from front to back, the whole thing! I see from reading other threads on here that there are some concerns about fit and thickness of the new replacement panels. Can anyone give me some advice on where I can get good replacement panels?

Thanks!

I recommend the Scott Drake stuff. I am sure there are others that are good. I don't have any experience with them.

Did you ever use the doors? I'm trying to figure out if I should fight the battle to save my doors or replace them.

Could be a door off a Volkswagon and not tell from that distance.

Do they advertise that? How would I know? What about Year One?

I actually replaced a door with a real ford door and it still does not line up after hours and hours of work.
have not been able to correct the gaps and i think it may be twisted.
