Hi all,

I was looking for lower quarter patch panels and found 70 to 76 but not 67 to 69

This is for a 67 dart convert.

I seem to recall that the wheel opening changed at so e year or duster vs other body style.

The steel above the blue tape is solid, and I might not need to go as far forward or rearward as the tape is applied.

Looks like AMD patches are no longer available, but a full quarter is, and if push comes to shove that's what I will do and cut out what I need.

This is my first body panel repair of this type...


Floor boards are coming later... :rolleyes:

Thoughts, helpfully hints, please!
 
I don't know that the wheel opening changed, but in 70, the area around the bumper did....
 
Looks like full quarters go for between 200 and 650.

200 Sherman and a couple other brands.

650 AMD

i have time I'm just trying to get a plan

AMD is the only company making full quarters for Darts.
AMD did make quarter skins and patches, but they discontinued them a couple years ago.
The AMD skins were fantastic parts, and it's unfortunate that these are no longer available.
The quarter skins sold by Sherman etc are a generic panel that have been sold by many companies over the last 30 years. These skins are a bit flimsy, have soft edges instead of sharp edges, and they are oversized, because they were designed as a slip over repair panel back when the cars were just used cars.
These generic "Sherman etc" panels do work fine for cutting down to the pieces you need.

Check with Laysons. I bought a pair of lower panels and a wheel opening patch for my 66 and they fit like a glove. The body shop was even impressed.
