72 cutlass patch panels
I am working on a 72 cutlass coupe with the square quarters not the rounded
does anyone know is there any patch panels made to take care of the wheel opening or do i have to buy a half quarter the only place mine are bad are right around the lip where the wheel opening moldings attach the rest of my quarters look good . I also need a good source for one piece truck floor
thanks for the help!!

So you have a Cutlass Supreme.
I never found any patch panels for mine , but there are pleanty of places that sell the skins and trunk floors. I bought a 5 piece trunk floor because my body guy was concerned with the one piece not fitting correctly or fitting into the opening of trunk to install it, at least with pieces you can fudge here and there.But he digs welding , I would have used a full trunk panel. for easier welding and finishing.

Hello fozzie, welcome to Classicoldsmobile!
How badly rotted are your wheelwell openings? I parted out a 1970 Supreme a while back and cut around the wheelwells a couple inches. While I was cutting I found some spots of rust in them, but if your good with bodywork you might be able to splice in solid sections and fabricate in between. If your interested I can try to take some photos next weekend. I'm located in South Western Oregon, what's your location? John
