Anyone have 68 to 72 Wagon or Cutlass Sheet Metal for LEFT Rear Wheel Opening?

I started stripping the paint on my VC and found accident damage and I think having the rear section of the wheel arch would make the repair easier. Or even the whole lower quarter panel rearwards from the wheel arch. I don't know if any of the Cutlass cars had the same wheel opening?

Thanks, Tom

68-69 fenders are completely different from 70-72.

Haha. I think you know the answer. It absolutely would work! It's as if it was made for me. Let's hope they have a left hand side too. ;-)

If anyone has an original piece for around $50 I'd still be interested, especially since I'm probably not getting around to that repair until spring time, but I know that it's a long shot that someone here has that piece and is willing to cut it out of a quarter panel for $50 :-)...

Yes, the picture does say 70 to 72 although the category is 64 to 88 so this should be right. The price isn't horrible either (although I just discovered that they charge $80 for shipping which makes me worry that they made it out of lead instead of 20 gauge steel). Does anyone know their reputation for fit? I've seen panels that were so bad, they were just a loose approximation of what a third grader thought the piece might look like.

Without looking at a 69 wagon, I'm guessing the pre-70s quarter had a different shape for the bumper cut-out, Joe?...
