Opinions on reproduction quarters for '63/'64?
 
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ponti...item43a8312690

Just wondering if anyone here had bought any of these, and what their impressions were of the product.

Thanks,

My suggestion - Don't waste your money. I got these and they do not fit. You can not use them as is. Perhaps you can use sections.

The body contours and slopes/creases are not as the USA "B Body" and the wheel wells are off.

Length is also slightly short for a Catalina and much too short for a Bonneville

Maybe they fit Canadian cars - but, who knows.

You may be able to use the lower rear section - by tilting the body crease line and with alot of adjustments and mods to the wheel well you may make it fit - but, for the cost to do that, it is not worth it to me.

Also, I tried a NOS wheel well molding and it does not align properly - the contour and length are off. Also, the GM fender skirt does not fit in the wheel well either.

I junked the two I bought behind the garage and seeked out an Arizona car and obtained two good rear quarters and saved the frustration.

Good to know. I considered them figuring I could cut the pieces I needed from them but it sounds like it's a waste of time and money.....

Thanks!

Thanks. I guess my first instinct, and the one I acted on as soon as I could, was correct. I nabbed a parts car with solid quarters. :-)
