CBD quarters WOW!!!!!

[motorcitydak]

Just picked up a drivers side full quarter panel for my car. The panel is for a '69 and mine is a '68 so I will be cutting out my marker light hole and placing it in the '69 quarter. This thing was repoped by Classic Body Designs and they are made rite here in the USA! Actually not more than about 40 mile from me. The piece looks perfect, it matches my body lines in every way. The only thing I can see that require work are the holes for the gas cap bolts and there is a small piece that needs to be welded together, see pics below. Anyways, I just wanted to show off some top quality stuff for the other guys out there that are saving another piece of Mopar history. Please excuse the pics, Im a terrible photographer. Also, that is ice on the quarter. I had to haul it home in the bed of my truck when it was snowing and since it was inside when I picked it up, melted the first show that hit it.















This is the only part that will need a little attention before install, maybe 5 minutes of work here










And the other side of that pinch, really no big deal

looks good why would they paint it blue.

[Charger-Bodie]

There is supposed to be a small reinforcement plate on the back side where you show the space you need to weld up.....transfer it from the old 1/4 and you will be in business.

What is the cost compared to Goodmark and AMD?  I heard somewhere they were much more expensive.

They make 68 quarters don't they? Why buy a 69 if you have a 68? LEON.

looks good why would they paint it blue.

I'm curious about that too.

I don't think this one is new guys...

New ones are about double the AMD quarters ($1400-1500 last time I checked). Sometimes you can find them cheaper when someone sells off their project.

nice quarter...shiny lol

[paironines]

When CBD was at the Nats I believe that quarter was their display and that's why it's painted blue.

Nice looking quarter there, not to hi jack the thread, but when you replace the entire quarter do you restamp your Vin numbers on the trunk gutter, or cut out the old section & weld it back in. . 

[gasoline_24]

The trunk gutter is a seperate piece and you leave it and weld the two back together.

That is the one I now have and why its a '69 when mine is a '68. I cannot really say what I paid for it or how I came to acquire it, but someone else on here can if they so chose. I will get in contact with that person to see what more info they would like for me to disclose. I do want to add that the price of the 1/4's are no where near the $1400 like the used to be. It is much more reasonable now. I got a quote for a pair and will disclose that price if given the ok too. I have seen AMD and Goodmark stuff. I am comfortable saying that this piece is better and as close to if not better than NOS or OEM stuff. Plus all their stuff is made in the USA, unlike AMD. I am not sponsored by CBD in anyway and am not trying to endorse or push their products in any way. I just want to say that if you need sheet metal for your gen II Charger, then check it out http://classicbodydesigns.com/

Sorry, I forgot the price decreased:

Hate to be the wet blanket but I have to chime in here and say that it really pisses me off when a company has a product but the price is a big secret.  Now I don't mean the price that was quoted to you Dak, if you offered some special deal and were asked to keep it to yourself I understand and respect that.  However, everything on their website seems to indicate that you have to call them to get a quote and my feelings on that are that if you are worried about someone seeing your price then I am automatically assuming it must be too damned high.  If you need to have a live person give me a "qoute" on your retail product that I can purchase from a few of your competitors at their stated price then you've lost me.  This isn't a new car or house so I don't need a sales rep to excite me to the point where the price doesn't matter or start cutting into the profit margin to entice if I seem too reluctant, it's a steel panel with a fixed cost that you know and can certainly have an established number on it for your website.
There, rant off and I feel better.

[b5blue]

Thanks for getting that off my chest! 

[69rtse4spd]

Thanks.

[motorcitydak]

Ghoste I fully agree with you there. I saw the site a while ago and requested a quote. I was told $799 a side and was going to be able to pick it up at their site since I live so close. I just did not want to say the price for brand new ones if it was no longer correct.

I do not know why the prices are not stated on the web site yet they are listed up on here. I talked to the owner who told me that the quarters were $2000+ a piece when he took over the company. He has since gotten them down to what they are now. I cannot explain it, but I feel that the prices should be listed on line too

[Khyron]

hmmmm, from $2000, to $1500, to $799...... so who got screwed by these guys when they where $2000?

[squeakfinder]

They were probably tying to pay for there tooling back when it was 2 grand a piece. Plus, I think when they started there wasn't any competition. Now AMD is in full swing and they probably have no choice but to bring the price down. Thank god we still have free trade/capitalism.

My prices are and have been posted in the topic of products and goods for sale. I have dropped them down considerably for two reasons. The first being that when I bought the company three years ago they were extremely high. I have tried to get them to a point where anyone can afford them. The last time I lowered them is was plain and simple, I realized that the economy is bad and I wanted to give people a break. These are made right here in the USA and anyone should be able to realize that it is a lot more expensive to build them here. I have had offers from company abroad to make them for me much cheaper but that is not the way I wanted to go. I am keeping some people working and I feel good about that. This particular piece was a display and I offered it to him because he was in need of one badly and money was and issue at this time for him. He seems to be a very nice guy and if it helped him I feel good about that also. I wish I could help more but you can only write off so many samples and that was mine. I think I am now in the ball park with the competitors but if not I can only do my best.

Ron, I was wondering why I didn't see you at the WPC swap. I don't get up to your area very often.

Hi Troy

I have been so busy I haven't had a chance to do much else. We do have a daughter in Columbus in fact we were there last weekend for your wonderful snow storm lol. Can you believe it we had none and you guys got hit so hard. I just didn't get to that meet. I am here if you ever need me though and we are not that far from each other.
