    Just curious..... Two door quarter and a four door quarter panel.

    What is the difference in length from the wheel opening to the back of the quarter panel?

    I know they are clearly different at the front of the quarter where the rear door opening is, but are they the same at the rear?

    Yes, they are the same. Inner fender wells are the same too.

    Are you talking about the trunk drop offs? Or the wheel houses?

    There are NOS inner wheel houses on Ebay all the time. The outers, where they meet the quarter, are nearly impossible to find. The drop off are being reproduced.

    They are the same. I used ones cut from a 4 dr to fix my Comet GT. They are identical. Plus I just looked in my 72 Ford Body & Collision Parts Catalog and they have the same part number.
