Aftermarket repair panels for 1955 Olds
Does anyone make repair panels for the quarters and rockers on a 55 Oldsmobile Super 88 2 dr. hard top?

55 Olds repair panels
I got some rocker panels from Classic Fabrication(at least I think it was them), but didn't fit very well. The pinch weld area required massive reshaping. I was able to make them fit with the small metal brake that I have. I haven't seen anyone offering quarter panels, however. You will have to find a donor car for those.

Thanks for your reply, I can make the rockers and the quarter repair panels but was hoping someone made them. I can make them due to having been in the auto body business for 30 years and I have a brake and sheet metal roller. Thankfully the quarters are almost flat on the lower half/no sharp bends until you get to the bottom.

Here is an NOS right quarter panel on ebay. It is not cheap. It has been on ebay for a long time so they might negotiate down. I think I have some repro rockers if you are interested. Here is the ebay link.

There's also a lower rear section panel for sale on eBay (sedan wheel opening). Not sure which side he has listed, but I ended buying both sides from him so he probably still has both.
They are pretty decent repair panels.
