The lower rear quarters, behind the wheel wells are rusted about 4" up. Need to cut it just above the lower roll. Need to cut these out and replace. Been about 20 years since I did any kind of tin bashing. Used to work for my dad for a years doing it but thats a long time ago. I can order replacements for a bonneville but would these sections line up or am i better off just buying some 20 guage and start shaping?
I ordered a proper rear quarter from noram and have not installed it yet but overloaded and it appeared decent. Canadian company too.
Is that actually for a Parisienne or a U.S. make Mike?
For Wayne's car or the wagon?
Let us know how it works out.

Ah ha. Always wanted to know the difference in fitment between a '64 Catalina and a '64 Parisienne. I have a NOS '64 Parisienne passenger patch quarter kicking around.

Somehow im not suprised Darryl. Thinking i will end up fabricating some. will be $500 to order the Catalina ones and with my luck they wouln't even fit! lol
You just cut short for the Canadian car or gp etc, they actually made me a short one for the wagonas I did not require the material ahead of the wheel opening its soon on the agenda I'll post pics on the build thread soon hopefully
do what i did. I called the canadian number and spoke to Dave i believe and had them make the panel short. I send him a photo showing what i wanted and they made it to order
Here is exactly the photo i sent along with the dimension to be sure of the length being a wagon
Wheel well opening is not correct for wagon but here are some pictures of the panel from them
Good to know.
Without scratching your convertible's paint , how does the patch panel line up on it?
Thanks, Darryl.

It will - but the wagon is about 3 or 4 inches longer behind the wheel. I couldn't get it up right but it looked good. I borrowed my wife's sewing measuring tape to check dimensions and the matched other than length. All the horizontal lines matched. The wheel opening is about an 1-1/4" shorter then the convertible
