So I've got some questions that I'm hoping someone here can help clarify.
#1:What is the difference between a quarter panel skin and a full quarter panel, and why isn't a 'full' panel available for a coupe and yet IS available for a fastback? I've got to replace my quarter panels, trunk drop offs and probably most of my wheel wells but I'm stuck figuring out what part I need to be looking at. It doesn't seem I can simply buy front and rear quarter panel patches for the 72.
#2:Are there patches available for the lower fenders (just in front of the doors)? All I seem to find are full fender replacements and if I can I'd rather stay with the originals complete with factory stamping.
#3: Rocker panels. I don't know yet exactly how much of my rockers are rotted, whether just the small-ish hole in the outer rocker panel or if it goes thru to the inner, but I can only find replacements online up to '70. Will those fit the 72?
At some point I'm going to ask about fixing the rot in the bracing under the hood but that's for another day.
Thanx!!
