1955 Rust Repair Panels



1956 Belair

1955 Olds
What do you all think of using a rust repair panels for the front quarter from a '56 Chevy on a '55 Olds? Seems very similar to me, perhaps GM even used the same dies to stamp the metal. Classic Industries makes this one for $180.

Very doubtful it would fit as is, different contours and size car. Maybe pieces could be used and spliced in but I don't think as a unit it would work. Buick is the same body if you can find a donor or a parts car that is a exact match....Tedd
