X2 on ALL he said ^^^^. I did cut out a pair for Gregggg for one of his cars. I cut way around them.
Since I need to replace one coming up this summer, I may try to get one out in one piece for a pattern, make it a printable template or something.

Yes the curved piece that fills in between the quarter and the metal tail panel ,bought several pairs of these back in the early 80s when replacing 1/4s on early tas .never heard of now and very difficult to get off

Any updates on these?

Another part I’m looking for is the small filler panel’s between the trunk drop offs and the rear cross rail.

Thanks,
Stan

This filler extension panel is available for a camaro. It will work but needs more metal and shaping to get it looking correct inside. The repop drop off needs to be shaped as well on the curve. The top where the bumper mount needs to be flattened as well

[Formulabruce]

I will cut out both sides. They have odd compound bends, so I may leave in tact as the shape may get ruined with weld removal.
I cannot do this for a few weeks as is a mess here, ice, mud, ice snow, ice. wet.

Call Ron Johnson at Potomac Classic Pontiac. He will have originals.

Noble suggestion by all means - but he won't have any of them.
He has been looking for a single or a pair himself since at least 2013 .

Ron is the fellow who teamed with Goodmark to reproduce the rear sheetmetal.

that would be fan-freaking-tastic!!

I am quite astonished with how much is now available - I would have never guessed twenty years ago for the aftermarket to offer so much considering how low the production was on the early cars.

[Stan65]

Actually there is at least a pair of last unavailable parts not being reproduced…

The trunk drop off to cross rail fillers. The ones marketed as Camaro/Firebird are actually Camaro only.

Here is a picture of one. I am attempting to make these. I have the stamping dies designed and am waiting for the machine shop to make them so I can attempt to start stamping these.

Yes Stan is finishing up the last parts that I believe are going to make a lot of people happy and their lives easier when dealing with those rotten back ends of the quarters and tail panels. Thank you Stan.

[Stan65]

All,

I have finished the panels and they are available by contacting me directly. $200 a pair shipped in the 48 or $125 each if you only need one side.

First couple pics show where they are located , and the last pic is the actual parts I make here in Toledo IL.

The ones marketed as Camaro and Firebird DO NOT FIT FIREBIRD. like 75% of the parts labeled that way.

Thanks,

Stuart “Stan” Landreth.

And a special thanks to Ron for all the other parts he helped make available!

[bober]

Thanks everyone for the feedback and I hope someone will be able to get some repops on this part and others done !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sd7369]

if you wish to contribute these to the cause, contact me by pm or at [email protected]. It will likely take about 1 year to get these done. I will need someone to trial fit them once completed to double check the fit. Once approved, it will take 4-6 months to get them stamped and shipped. Of course, production time is contingent on the world market and economic conditions at the time of production. You will get perhaps 3-4 free pairs as payment.

Thanks for the further (and honest...) info on the process. A year's a long time.... lots can happen. I'll think about it and send you a note-
