Quarterpanel question
« on: May 22, 2002 - 09:07:08 AM »
Recently picked up a 70 Cuda 383/4 speed as a project. I am having both quarters replaced (outer only) and was curious as to who made the best fitting "full quarters". My body man was up front and said buy the best fitting one I could get and it would save time and money with him putting them in. Seems like everyone makes a panel...Paddock, Year One, Goodmark, Autobody Specialty.  Anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks

Rob ???

All are made by the same company.  Unless NOS which you cannot find.   Is it possible to patch just the bottoms?

Unfortunately it needs full quarters. The rust is confined to the lower rear but it looks like somebody to a sledge hammer to the rest of the quarter. This will be my last project and I don't mind spending the money to have it done correctly. It makes sense that one or two companies would be doing them all. I have heard some good things about Harden's Muscle Car World both their products and their customer support. Anybody else have a similar experience? Thanks

They are all made in the same place. It will take some time to get a perfect fit but if it's done right nobody will ever know they were replaced.

Actually it's easy to tell if a car has had aftermarket quarters welded on because they arent full quarter like a factory quarter so yes from the outside you can't tell if they have been done right. I already have a couple of people wanting me to weld on Quarterpanels on their cars  after they saw my Challenger (kinda makes a guy feel good!) But as long as you take your time and have alot of paitience and are good with a MIG welder you will have great results.  ;)

I'm doing both quarters on my 70 challenger now also.I got mine from Sherman and the quality seems to be pretty good.I'm going to leave all of the factory edges at the door seam & at the rear to try & keep that factory look.
