Reproduction Rear Wheelhouse

Hello all,

Just wondering if anyone has used any of the reproduction rear outer wheelhouses that are available these days. I'd like to know how they fit. I've never seen a set of NOS panels for sale otherwise I'd look for those. Please let me know.

I used repro inner and outer wheel houses with OEM quarter panels. The fit was pretty good but took a bit of finesse. I would suggest putting both together and installing rather than one at a time unless your doing just one? A lot of tack welds and mock up is the key.

Thanks all. I really just need the bottom couple inches of the outer wheelhouse on the rear of the piece and will be using a pair of OEM quarters. Is one brand better??
