I used the skins and block sanded them perfect. Wish the full quarters had been available 2 years ago.

If you look at the picture of the quarters they look like 66 quarters. The bumper ar4ea looks like a 66.

When you call, ask for Ed, he is our Purchasing Manager and can try and confirm whether this is finally happening.

Dynacorn's web site says as of 11/2010 they have no idea when the quarters will be ready and told another guy he was crazy if he thought they were coming out in 2011.

I've seen earlier messages on their web site about 2 years ago that said they abandoned the project with their current tooling and were looking for a decent car to use to create new tooling.

I've been following this project since 2005 and they have made zero progress. I'll be completely shocked if they ever come to be. We can always hope but I would not delay my restoration waiting for them.

Eric do you have some pics of the quarter panel skins before you installed them. I would like to see these from different angles I'm trying to visualize just how much metal there is in certain places... Thanks!

William, I used the lower rear patch panels. they are about 14" tall and go from the wheel well to the end of the 1/4.....I did not use the entire skin. If you need to patch in front of the wheel well, you will need to cut a piece out of a whole skin. I think these are all the pics I have of the 1/4 patch in place. I will tell you that it is an EXCELLENT fit. Eric

While I was taking pictures of other sheet metal parts today, I snapped some pictures of the back of the 67 quarter skin. I hope these help.

Yes that helps very much as well, thanks!

So I don't have a welder or feel comfortable in my abilities to weld on a quarter skin correctly. Is this a part that could be installed using a panel bond epoxy? Or do I just need to part with some cash and pay someone to do it properly?
