Rear quarter panels for my '67 R/T

[NorthOfForty]

Short report on my quarters. First the are not full quarters. They are for wheel well back to bumper and about half way up. I bought these from Classic Industries.
They are made in the US, reasonably priced (about $110) and most things at Classic are on sale most of the time. I am NOT a body man but they look decent to me. I think they are a step ahead of making the panels from scratch. Right side is MM8216. Left side is MM8215. Fits '67 Coronet R/T but prob fit any '67 Coronet.

Theyll work... yours rusty below the body line?

 

[NorthOfForty]

ya they are... let the body man decide how much of the panel to use.

I used them on mine. They are fine.

These are made by Sherman Parts, not the best but it's all that's available. Body lines are softer than OE. I used a LR piece like you have. I had the RR on order but it never showed up so I fabricated that side. I also bought the LS wheel arch but ended up returning that one. I didn't need much so it was better to fabricate in my case. Body lines were poor on the wheel arch.

Is the piece between the trunk and lower fenders ( forgive me for not remembering what its called) being reproduced for the 66-67 models?

a inner rear quarter? I dont think reproduced.. at least from what I remember.. the very least on these.. there easy to fabricate without having to much of a 3 demensional roll..

Yes. It's called a trunk extension. I purchased the left side for my car not to long ago. I believe it was a Sherman Parts piece. Again, quality is not good but it's the only thing out there.

Ya, i ordered the left one as well. Doesn't look too bad, but it looks like the oblong hole in the panel was cut with a plasma cutter. Very rough. The original one has a smooth cut. Not sure what the hole is for and if I need to smooth the edge on the repo.

 

[69L48Z27]

The hole is for the filler neck to the gas tank, left side only. And yes, very crude hole. Like I said, I'm not impressed at all with Sherman Parts but it's all we have. AMD would put them out of business if they would make parts.

Thanks. See, I would know that if my car was not totally disassembled when I bought it. Send me an instruction manual.

That's it... TY for updating my memory......

Joking aside, the factory service manual has a good amount of data in it.

That's it... TY for updating my memory......

 

[Moparstyle]

Ive been wondering how those look

 

[NorthOfForty]

Actually, I do have the factory service manual and factory parts manual. It is surprising how good the parts manual is for seeing how things go back together.
