where do i begin?

Just picked up a 68 c20 panel. The plans are for speed more than anything else. I have SOOO MANY questions. so I'll start with.....

1, where is the best place to get sheet metal parts? are back barn doors available?

2, I want to do Fiberglass panels for the nose, but DON'T want it to look like Glass. I have found hoods and doors, but can't seem to find front fenders. I don't want to do a 1 piece nose clip. does anybody make glass fenders?

For the panel trucks and suburbans you will have to make some of the repair panels from sections of pickup pieces. If you scroll down in this forum you will find some threads on the subject.

Barn doors are only available used. Check out the Blazer and Suburban parts forum.

I can't help on the fiberglass parts.

Welcome to the board.
