Anyone know where I can get the full rear quarter panel's for a 1967 GTO? Any idea what I should expect to pay to have them put on?
Thanks

What make, year and model car are you looking for quarters for?

Even though some people have threatened to, no one yet makes a full quarter for the '67. You would have to locate NOS, and I doubt if any are left. People have been searching those for years. Good used is probably your only option for a full quarter.
Installation cost can vary widely. Right now I'm putting repro quarter skins on a '66 Chevelle for $1600.

It looks like I will be doing or getting some body man with good experience to patch around my wheel wells in the front and rear where the body crease is. I have some bubbling coming up and I was hoping to get a full quarter instead and change it all out. It seems that 67 GTO owners are SOOL!

As noted your choices are somewhat limited. A good used one would be the way to go-but you will pay for it. One option you might consider is buy the current repo quarter(s) (they are not that expensive) and cut out the part you need. Save as much of the original that you can.

Has anyone used a repor quarter on here??? The areas I am looking at is around the wheel-wells where the crease above the molding is located, front and back. I was thinking if the repo is good around the complete well and 6-8 inches on each crease area, I could cut the flanged opening off and those two areas and just replace that. That is the only areas I need replacing. Or should I just patch those areas?

I had a little "bubbling" above my wheel well on my '67 convertable GTO and by the time I got to good metal, I had to replace most everything below the body line. I got a repro from Ames and just cut out what I needed and welded it in. The inner wheel well was bad too, but no one made one for a convertable, so I got one for a hard top and just used the outside and welded that in too. It was a big job, but that was the only way I could see to do. It turned out great. I have photos but am not smart enough to put them up so that you can see them...

Bugs, man, if you have the pics on your computer, could you email them to me. [email protected]. I would love to see how you did it. this really sucks that no one is making a quality quarter.

bugs44444 11-24-2004 06:55 AM

Done

Ron in LA 11-24-2004 04:18 PM

Thanks Bugs. I will be looking forward to them!

Ron in LA 11-24-2004 04:20 PM

Sorry bugs, I messed up on the typing for e-address; [email protected]. Send to this one. Thanks for the help

bugs44444 11-28-2004 08:51 AM

OK, I'll send them again on Monday from work

Here's a place that sells quarter skins for 66-67 gtos. They admit the quality is poor, but it may beat nothin at all. They also list 64 and 65 as the same panel. Now that would take some serious tweaking!Goodmark
