1973-75 Quarter Skins

[77brougham]

Is there any source for reproduction quarter skins for the 73-75 body style? I know you can get them for the 76-77's. You would'nt think they would be more popular.

There is places the re pop them and are after market. I have one on my 73 now. Worst pile of junk ever made if you ask me. I cant remember where I bought it from, was in 2000. It came from a place in Ohio but I oredered it from a different vendor. For 73 you have to use the rear section for the side light, they only come stamped for 74-75 as far as know. I also had to cut up the front down low on the body line that curves down and remove an inch. I was not able to get the wheel trim to line up at all and never put it back on. Not a big deal for me since I am just building it as a street car not a resto car. Good luck in your search.... I just ordered rocker panels for my 82 thru Mill Supply.

A few months ago, I was talking to a guy who I thought had a full dealer style quarter for a 76-77 (as opposed to skins). I ended up determining that it was not the correct panel, but might fit a 73-75 or some other a-body. The guy said he had a body shop in the late eighties and that this was left over from a job that never came in. I negotiated a price of $350 with him and I believe he was located in Ottawa. His name was Ron Arial, his email address was r___arial@sympatico.ca, and his phone number was 613.859.8599. The picture I've attached looks a lot like a 76-77, but when I got closer pictures it didn't. I don't know if this is something you'd be interested in pursuing or not but here's the information; do with it what you will. (if you're not interested perhaps somebody else on the site would be). --Alex

That looks like a Buick Regal panel.

Now that you mention it, that probably is a Buick panel.
