65 Dart Wagon Conversion to a Sedan Delivery
I contacted Rick@Laysons for some good pics of the 65 Valiant/Barracuda lower quarter panel repair patches. It appears they rolled under the quarter panel just like the wagon’s and the shape was the same other than right at the wheelwell lip.. I figured Nothing ventured nothing gained. I ordered both sides just prior to their 20% off sale which ended Dec31st and they didn’t look like they would work out, I’ll return them or sell them. After fitting them I found the wagon quarters are about 2 or 3 inches longer in length than the repair panels at the wheelwell. If I moved the patch panel forward to the wheel lip and trimmed at the back where there were no pin holes, it will fit. Tacked in place:
And pretty much now in place other than some filling a couple of holes and minor grinding:
