65 quarter panel repair question

I am looking to fix the wheel wells on back on my 65. Has anybody looked at the 65 chevelle or GTO repair panels to do this? It looks like the shapes are close to the same and with the inner wheel wells being the same. I thought they might work. Doe anyone have any thoughts on this. I know the basic panel area will need changed but this gets the edge and the flair correct.

They all have different fender contours and wheel openings. Note how much higher the Olds wheel opening goes on the quarter vs. the Chevy. It isn't clear to me that you're going to be able to use either panel without a whole lot of hand fabrication.

what part of the 1/4 are you repairing? i have some larger pieces of w/heel opening lip. the rear lower 1/4 needs to be home built,and has a concave area,a lower section of 64/65 door can help with that
