No Suprise... Quarter Panels!

65wagon · Poncho Master!

i dont think any are available at this time, dont use the cheepies that used to be out, how is it around the wheel wells and front quarters

ChiefStratoProject · Newbie

I wouldn't be surprised hahaha. There is very little rust around the front fenders, just some in front of the doors at the bottom. It'll definitely need quarters... It's rusted about 2-4 inches all the way around the well and carries on right till the back bumper.

there was a member here from Ottawa had an N.O.S. set for sale -I believe they were convertible or hardtop cut to convertible

if you find you need patches for around the rear wheel wells, i can make those up, rear quarters i only have paterns for wagons,bucks for seadans wont be ready till fall

Alright Good to know. I'll keep that in mind... Do you know if quarters off a 2 door pariessene from the same year would work? I saw one around town and it looked similar...

im on here every day once the snow flys, its time to hybrinate, or hide from the office in my case. if you check out " quarter panel production and install " you can see how they are made. one thing to remember is that the inners are the reason the outes rot out , if the new ones dont fit right the outers skins wont either especially on these things, that means the trim wont fit nor will skirts.

We have a member (Bud Dewson) from Toronto who drove to Arizona and bought southern panels and doors

He says the southern stuff fit, but most members here "do not believe" him

i finally found some quarter panels for the wagon, trouble is, they're from a 4 door hardtop...this might be interesting putting the two together...

65wagon · Poncho Master!

wont work wagon only, it can be from a 65 66 but has to be from a wagon, compare the shape and lenght of the two, sedans and rags 2drs are all the same but a wagon weather american poncho or canuk are their own animal

There's a pontiac guy with several 60's pontiacs bring parted out near Smith Falls Ont. You can find him on kijiji Ottawa

This is looking interesting.

I know this is an older thread but it's a topic that comes up from time to time that never seems to have a solid answer. I found an answer on another forum in a 15 year old post. Someone posted that they put a 66 Grand Prix 1/4 panel on a 65 Parisienne convertible and it fit perfectly.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

yes I have a 65 Parisienne convertible and changed the RH rear quarter panel with a rust free Arizona 66 Grand Prix. Fits perfect!! 66 are in most cases better sheet metal..doors are interchangeable 65 66, too. Only the inner rear sash channel frame need for change 65 with 66 door to drill a hole to fix at higher rear end where the door jamb meets. No problem! 65 66 Grand Prix, Catalina and Parisienne are same quarters, doors..only the Bonneville 2 door has longer quarters....doors / fendes are the same..

Well that just opened up a whole new avenue to look into. Thank you for that.
