I have a bit of cancer on my drivers side quarter behind the rear wheel on my convertible. I have found a nice donor for that area but it's a four door. I know the whole quarter isn't the same but is that area the same from the rear wheel to the trunk drop off to the rear bumper?
Thanks,
Rick

The general shape is the same, but a 4-door piece is shorter in overall length from the rear wheel opening to the bumper. You could certainly use it to patch in if you have good metal on either side of the rot.

excellent. I do have good metal up the wheel opening and well before the rear bumper.
Thank you

I have both 4 doors and 2 doors, the rear quarter trim piece is the same, so length is the same for the bottom sheet metal.

I am dealing with the same issue. I have 4 door sheet metal and two door. They seem to be the same. the 1964 cutlass also has the same wheel well arch and transition to the lower qtr. Not sure about the length, my dont 64 piece was cut off just after the rear tire area, but the Coumpuound curve area fit my trim fine.

I would really like to have patch panels for the lower quarter panels. Anyone other than Rod able to make these? I know Rod is busy with chrome parts.

You can put me down for a set of rear patch panels.
