I'm looking for rear wheel arch and lower rear quarter panel sheet metal for my '64 Skylark Coupe. Should be the same as '65. Really need the passenger side, but could use the driver's side as well. If anyone has any pieces they are willing to part with, please PM me or reply to this thread. Thanks!
Good to know someone reproduces them. They are pricey, $139 a side. I'm gonna need one for sure on the passenger side, but I think I can get away with smaller pieces on the driver side. I'll post some pictures later on.
Here's some pictures. The passenger side is the worst of it. It's still far from the worst I've seen, just sections of pinholes coming through. The pinch welds are fine.
My body guy cut little pieces from the repro panels to patch the problem areas, like you’re planning to do on your driver side. Mine looked a lot like yours. Both my ‘65’s spent their whole lives here in Texas, but still had rust in those same problem areas. I imagine it probably happens when the trunk weatherstrip fails & lets water into the turn-downs at the sides of the trunk floor.
Yep, I think this car was from the southwest, but it still has a few problem areas where water sat. I think those trunk pockets fill with dirt over time and once water gets in there, it sits and rusts inside out. I'm pretty good at fabbing small patch panels but I don't have an English wheel or a brake, so its a lot easier to buy the pieces and cut them to size. Some of these are small enough that fiberglass filler would be acceptable on them as well.
