That doesn't exist, all that's avaliable is rear deck panel, decklids, and tabco 1/4panels , there used to be full 1/4's and radiator supports but far as I know they all are gone I may be wrong but AMD certainly isn't making anymore, The Parts Place was supposed to be buying the stamps and picking production back up, but I haven't heard if that's happened. They had the fenders almost ready for production as well as the hood stamp, but there again they never finished it.
But when I look at opgi, they have the quarter, fender, and rocker panels I need. I just dont know the quality. https://www.opgi.com/skylark/1971/sheet-metal-body-panels/quarter-panels/S240245/ https://www.opgi.com/skylark/1971/sheet-metal-body-panels/fender/S210029/ https://www.opgi.com/skylark/1971/sheet-metal-body-panels/quarter-panels/CH26957/
Yea Tabco 1/4's they fit fine, but there is ALOT of welding involved and unless you are very proficient at welding sheet metal you will make a mess. I've never seen a Buick with rotten rocker panels, they were galvanized and held up extremely well, if there is a small place I'd just spot repair it. They may show fenders but I'd be willing to bet they don't have any. AMD may have gotten them into production b4 they stopped making the Buick stuff And All aftermarket sheet metal sucks to be honest, for instance the fender patch panels for most all the Gm muscle especially our cars are junk,...there are only like two places that stamp all this aftermarket stuff anyway it's all just relabeled stuff
Cars Inc bought up a bunch of the AMD Buick inventory , I got an inner fender and rad support from them several months ago
Im not familiar with Cars Inc, but ill look into it. and I just found this :https://www.ebay.com/itm/1970-72-Bu...ter-Panel-Right-Hand-GM-9815408-/330918029830
That's the AMD full 1/4, by far the best option, thinking back to Adams thread they are obviously avaliable again. very much worth the extra money over the Tabco, unless it's not bad enough to replace the whole 1/4. Just because there are a few holes in the bottom or even the whole bottom is Mia, doesn't mean the entire 1/4 Should be removed.
Yeah after I sandblast the car Ill know more, but today i took a huge chunk of rusty metal off the bottom of the quarter. I suspect ill need this whole quarter.
You shouldn't sandblast the panels it will warp the hell out of them, and don't soda blast it either. You need to either mechanically strip it or dustless blast. You are fine to sandblast stuff like door jambs, cowl, floor , window channels etc. And even the driprails but stay off the roof , deck, hood etc. Do not best the bottom of the hood in the center you can do the front latch area and sides without issue
Okay, good to know. I just want to take the paint and rust off with as little effort as possible. I know there's a lot of options, but I dont want to sand the whole car.
