Thread: Where to find patch panels for 66/67 Fairlane ???

Tweet

Hi Guy's,.....

I picked up a 67 Fairlane 2 dr. HT last year,.... just took it to the shop the other day and got it running and am working on the mechanicals now,..... it's not to bad of a car , but I need lower rear quarter panel patches, the guy I got it from told me he had two new half quarter's that went with the car,... they were in the original shipping boxes so I didn't open them right away,...

The packing slip was from J.C. Whitney (uh-oh) and the panels were worse than I could have ever imagined,... these things are plain "JUNK" nowhere even close,.... I will keep them around to use the sheet metal,...

Anyway do any of you know of anyone that might make or have the patches I am looking for ? It's the area just below the side trim from the rear of the wheel opening to the rear bumper.

Thanks

I don't know how good they are but you can try these guys...

Dearborn classics is a good company to deal with.. most of the Fairlaine sheetmetal is available through them..

when I had my Falcon, not even Dearborn had the 1/4 panels.. JC. Whitney was the only supplier, and getting the 2 $60 panels to my house with shipping made the total $360... they were close enough to be usable, definite need of work, but they were better than what the car had.. sold the car b4 putting them on

Just use google I found these two places relatively fast

If you're hoping to find perfect panels, probably isn't going to happen. Haven't used any panels from a wide variety of suppliers over the last few months and all of them required some rework time.... Quality Control seems to be a thing of the past anymore.....
