63 f-85 body pannels

is there any body stamping replacement body parts for the first gen f-85 or is cutting and fabricating the only option any suggestions?

No one reproduces these. The pre-'64 Cutlasses are not in any way supported body and trim-wise as compared the '64s and later. Any body parts you need will have to come from donor cars or be fabricated.

Even worse, from the beltline down the 63 sheet metal and trim parts are one-year-only.

It is, huh?

So far for you it seems to have been nothing more than a source of bad news!
