1965 Cutlass Body Parts

If I cant find body parts for my car what other options do I have? Currently both my quater panels are rotted below the trimming and every website I visit only had parts from 66 & up which leads me to believe I may have to make my own fabrication or look for a fiberglass panel.
Does anyone know of any good ideas?

Make them yourself or find some originals to weld in.

And yet, not the parts you are looking for. Note that the quarter panel patch panels are only for 66-67. There are only one or two factories in China that stamp all these patch panels. Everyone sells the same ones.

I've got an extra quarter panel with some dents, but rust free. What part of Northern California are you in? John

The car is located in Sacramento but I am here in the East Bay. Do you have the LH & RH Quarter panels?

I understand the 65 Cutlass is one of its kind and no other quarter panel matches up with it but I am curious to know which quarter panel comes close to it?
After looking at my quarter panels the rust is not that bad as I thought. I really dont need to replace the whole panel. The part where the rust is really bad is located all the way on the bottom near and on the wheel opening and its only about 8-12 inches of damage.

I just posted the same, or close, question. I've been looking at a 65 Impala patch that looks close but have not tried it yet. Anyone else see or used these?

If you have a beat up fender that is scrap you can cut out the bottom of the wheel opening to use as a patch for the rear...the rest is easy once you have the flare taken care of..
