Welcome! Yeah, pics and details of your project.

Pretty active forum here and lots of information so you came to the right place. Lots of helpful folks on here, I've been a member for about a year and a half and I've bought parts from members here and gotten help with questions and finding obscure parts.

Welcome. You'll find precious little in the way of repro patch panels for these cars. Good used original sheet metal is about your only option. The body is the same as that on any 1962 Olds Eighty Eight convertible. Good luck.

Repair panels for the 62 Starfire are non-existent but depending on the patch panel you need the sheet metal on all full size 62's can be cut and used. The 98 is longer in front of the rear wheel well. The trunk drops are the same and the rear tail light panel on the 98 is the same. The doors work off all 2 doors and are the same from the 61. The front fenders are all the same except for trim holes. Front bumper and rears are the same on all 88 models except rear on wagon. There is a lot of cross over but your best bet is a doner 88.
Is your car a coupe or convertible?
