I need to replace the inner and outer rocker panels on an early '68 SWB. As far as the better fit and proper shape, who do you recommend for a source? Restoration Design? Stoddard? Others?
Thanks!

Check with Gary Emory at Parts Obsolete. As I recall, he has lots and lots of used ones in good shape.

The Dansk ones don't fit well any more and the Porsche ones have all the holes and pressings that need to be welded up and filled.
I would ask the aftermarket suppliers where they obtain their panels.
We are spoilt as we have the in-house capability to make our own pn a jjob by job basis but other than that I think clean used panels are good odea.
Bump on this.
I have replaced the RHS with aftermarket and it was pretty good, however the LHS Dansk one I have is a bad joke.
Are Stoddards Any different?
Did you try Restoration Design? I have a couple of their panels, and they seem pretty good...

The best OUTER panel ! on the market, are from a german parts reseller www FEBOE .de sorry no fancy web or pics , but they are the best ,we use them on all our builds
I know he resells RD parts in Germany, but I heard that RD, was int. in buying these from him to keep stock , but I dont know if Mike have got these
but these are the best :-)
( note he will be on the Essen show next week , regarding if he dont respond to your mail etc right away , )

+1 Marek!
I have compared the FEBOE ones with NOS pieces and they are very, very good!
The water drain pressings are the only things missing but they are pretty straight forward to fab.
