I cheated and showed you the best side first. No better way to make a car look good than take a picture of it. Car needs a wheel arch / lower quarter patch on the passenger side. Previous owner patched it with tin cans, rivets and fiberglass. I'm gonna throw some Bondo on it for now until I can find a good original lower quarter.

Repro panels are available but takes 3 pieces to get from the door opening to the bumper. Does anybody know if the length from the front of the rear wheel opening to the rear bumper is the same on a 4 door car? I think I know where to get a decent 4 door q-panel locally. That would cut it down to a 2 piece repair. I have a feeling an original 2 door quarter is very expensive since they're not reproduced.



Between Oregon City and Beavercreek.
