What is the best source? Are all the Restoration vendors selling the same quarter?
Any input is appreciated, Greg |

There're still NOS 1/4s around for those.

Yes there is, just don't be disappointed if you wind up paying $600 or so per quarter. Skins might be less. A NOS full quarter panel is ideal and I've seen them pop up on ebay from time to time.
Try Hemmings Motor News. A great resource, just like this site!

Of the skins that are available from all of the restoration parts houses are any of them better than others?

PY always has good stuff but I bought my rear 1/4 skins from a place called Browns of Two Rivers. It's in Wisconsin. Cost me about $250 for a pair, with shipping. That price is about 4 years old now.
The skins were very nice and fit almost perfectly.

I bought a few 71 gto parts from www.eastwestautoparts.com They were very helpful and shipped my inner fenders and trunk lid pretty quick.

To best of my knowledge the repro hip 1/4's offered are all made by the same company, have looked at a bunch of them, not that enthused.
GM hardtop driver's side quarter was last dropped by the General, so it is usually the one that is easier to come up with. Passenger side nos hardtop 1/4 going to be expensive... often double the lh side. On one car, am using nos on lh side, & perfect used on rh. Perfect used are getting very tough to find, then break down time or labor...Aargh

Here's one. Probably a good indication of price.

Thanks for the input guys, I am watching the 1/4 on E-bay and may go ahead and get it and try to work something out on transport.
Thanks Again, Greg |

If I were serious and was ready for it, I'd try for the expensive one for 750 or under. You should be able to find them at swap meets or people bailing out on projects for several hundred less occassionally.
