Default Rear Quarter Patch Panel

Does anyone make a rear quarter patch panel for 70-71 GTO's?
I searched Goodmark, Dynacorn, etc and couldn't find one.
Thanks.

Check opgi or Sherman - doing the quarter on my 68 lemans convert - been hating life for 2 weeks! Good luck.

I got my quarter off rock auto it was a Sherman part - called Sherman and asked about how rock auto can sell so cheap like did you make a thinner panel. The guy said nope same thickness just their volume. Shipping was like $20 more than quarter

There is no quarter patch panel for 70-72's. The skins that are available are poorly stamped and do not have the correct contour where they meet the trunk drop offs.

Your best bet for a nice looking patch is to buy the full repro quarter and cut off what you need. I realize this isn't the cheapest way to get a patch but the end result will be way better than trying to use the skins.

I needed a patch for the passenger side of my car and found a distributor (Tamraz) that was willing to cut off what I needed from full quarter and mail me the patch...this save me a ton of money since I live in Canada and a full quarter would have to be shipped truck freight.

Of course I had to pay for the full quarter....

Thank you, I was afraid that that was what I was faced with; either that or try to find a donor quarter.
