    :Welcome:
    Your best bet is to find a donor car in a junkyard and cut them out yourself. It may take a little hunting on your part, but it should be easy enough. There are no replacements made for these cars. Maybe as they get more popular that will change, but I wouldn't hold my breath for it. There are also some supposed "NOS" ones that show up on ebay from time to time. Others on the board have said to stay away from that particular seller that has them, as they have received bad parts in the past. If you wait long enough, some decent used ones show up on ebay as well. I like the idea of junkyarding for one myself.

    Good luck,
    Eric J

    AutoKrafters has a quarter skin. Its as close to a full quarter panel as you will find except for an NOS one when they ocassionally show up. Major swap meets like Ford Carlisle is a good source for NOS stuff.

    So the people that have them and had no problems with them and they look perfect... so they are just nuts? :huh:

    I just called a local place here in KC and they have a pair in stock, I will be picking them up this afternoon. Not NOS, these are aftermarket quarters, probably from the same tooling.

    :2cents:

    Unless your quarter panel is totally wasted, just cut out the part that is bad and use the Auto Krafters quarters and cut out the small portion that is needed. If the quarter has to be completly cut out, don't get the Auto Krafters Quarter. Used or NOS.
