    I still need the rear wheelhouses, inner/outer for my 72 Stage 1 convt. I will take hardtop sheetmetal as long as it is clean and solid. Or a rear clip that is in rust-free shape. Thanks, Upstaged in Michigan

    Inner wheel houses are all the same on A-body models, Goodmark makes new inner wheel houses. You can get them at most places, OPG, Y1, National Parts Depot for a Chevelle. Outers are Skylark only. If your outers are ok and you just need the outer 2-4" of the lip area, you can use them from a 2 or 4 dr Skylark.

    George,
    Actually there are 2 different rear inner wheelhouses. 1 is for convertibles and the other is for all the others.

    The convertibles are flat on the top and the seam between the inner and outer is different.

    Thanks for the info Duane. I always thought only the outers were different because the rear drainage channel lays on them.

    George,
    I never noticed they were different until I started ripping my 70 442 conv apart. Then I saw how the conv top rests on the top of the wheelhouses.

    They may be reproduced also, I don't need them so I never checked
