Working on body and paint for a 2dr hardtop. Would like to find better front fenders to work with and are there any patch panels out there for quarters and can a trunk floor from any other GM full size be used for repair? We don’t need factory correct, we just want something to work with. Any info is appreciated. Located in Omaha, NE, closer the better but willing to pay shipping or drive to pick up the right parts. Thanks, Brian.
There is either a 1970 or 1971 LeSabre in VERY good condition at a local yard. I'll try to get pic's and upload. (My nephew's teenage son will have to help; I'm totally not into the technology stuff.) Shipping would be a bear though... from NC/SC border to Omaha (Nebraska, right?)
The 69 electra at the West side U Pull still lives. Am guessing that the 69/70 large cars share structural "hidden" sheetmetal. 71 to 76 is a different generation. Center of trunk pan is very good, however the edges have some corrosion, so vehicle likely originated somewhere else. A life long El Paso car will not have corrosion at all in most cases. Trunk pan is also tweaked from hard LR hit, so it is questionable overall. Could it be hammered flat/heated and straightened? Hmm. Follow up with Mr. Covington first.
Update on local LeSabre...It had been moved with a forklift, and damaged the driver side fender, and the right side fender has rust issues from sitting on wet ground. I saw the car several years ago, and he rarely moves stuff in that area. Guess what; he moved a few cars in that area to get access to another at some time. This is ONE of his THREE yards. It is roughly centered; cars go well into woods, Zoom. LeSabre is near center, where road goes into woods. Sorry to get hopes up. https://www.google.com/maps/@34.6566587,-79.5143354,605m/data=!3m1!1e3
