My quarter is fixed with home made patches above lower quarter body line. I never got satisfied about how the line come out. beside that never got the drain holes below quarter window area. Inner panel needed to be made and "bodyman" never made the depresions to the drains So I'm getting water storaged there.

This full quarter will be sent to a local sheetmetal shop with machines to make quarters like TABCO are selling and then will replace both quarters, one of them of course will be the NOS one. Several friends here need those quarters so cost will be reduced making some of those.

need also trunk extensions, but dunno If I'll be able to get them. thanks God that is a section can be replaced later, although is true is easier make everything at once. Inner paner below quarter glass still will need to be home made though. I got pic about how they are from a member who posted them here.

It took that time because on those days got to meet a buddy from Moparts ( Ludington1 ) who was able to give a ride from In to FL, because he had to go to his Dad's home to pick some parts to his car. Was a team job between ppl mentioned. Fedex wanted to charge me about $350 for the panel shipping and didn't meet the Greyhound max measurements for just 2". Trying also some LTL quotes was same than the quarter panel cost. Being was a faver, I couldn't ask for a quicker shipping, plus Darren is a very busy man traveling around the world. In fact got to meet him down here in one of his travels about 3 months ago.
