    Is there any difference in the 66 quarterpanel vs. 67 ??????
    are they exact the same?
    I have looked at alot of pictures and to me there seems to be a little difference in the lower back half - behind the rear wheel...
    first picture is of a very nice 67 (george) :TU:
    second picture is of a 66
    can you tell the diffence in the low back section of the 1/4 panel??? :Brow:

    66-67 Quarters are the same,i will post a better pic of my conv`t quarter,you will be able to see that in my car also the pic you have is not the best so you really cannot see the line well,here is another one so you can see they are the same.

    Thanks

    I think its the pic personally the angles and color fool you,i have a set of 66 NOS quarters they are identical to 67.

    could you please ship them to Denmark so I can see...:grin: can't promise you will get them back ...:Brow:

    so they are flanged .. damn... I just welded my left side without doing the flange..just welded in a flat piece... I guess I will have to try with hammer and dolly and see i i can make it that way...crap:Dou: :ball: :Dou:

    No problem:TU: if you notice also in the pic of the white car a good portion of the very lower part has rusted away,you can tell from the wheel molding.

    Thanks

    It is nice!
    matching numbers everything ! tripple black! 4speed!

    actually the sheetmetal that im welding in is some we had laying at work (metalworkshop) They had stampings in them dated 1985 so they can almost be considered NOS:laugh:

    Dan.

    (did you get that other 67 you were after? instead of the Black Widow)

    Can a rear lower '67 1/4 panel be made to work on a '65 as well?

    64-65 lower quarter looks different than 66-67,i guess if someone has the skills they can make it work.

    Thanks
