Like the title says, Mine are gone, lower both sides.

The quarters are not re-popped, hard to tell from the small pictures but there appear repairable if its just the area behind wheel. Will be easier to repair than replace entire quarter, good luck on your project, do not see many '64 or '65's.

When you have time you might read through this thread. His car is a 1965 but he dealt with the same issues of not finding rear quarter panels to replace the rust in his. John

That's what I was hoping to do was just the lower. Thanks.


Thanks John I will rear this tonight.

If it's just that rear lower section it will be very easy if you have some welding skills if not a great area to learn.

If you have any questions just ask and I will try and help

Here is a pic if my left just the lower section

I glued mine in but you could easly butt weld this too
We made this simply by laying metal over the old and shaping it before cutting out the old

Nice, I happen to love the welding thing, never tried shapping but like you said, a great place to learn.
Did you pick up a piece of sheet metal and then went to town or did you use old body pieces?

Thanks, Dwight

I used a door from a 64 4 door on this side lol and my left the same butt also used two fenders a lot of work on my right side!
The left lower all that was used tool wise was a body hammer a vise and a small amount of heat

Here are few pics from the "Rustbucket" 64 F-85, with help from this Club it can be done!

That looks like alot of work, I am glad that all I have to do is the lower quarters and some surface rust where the paint got thin.

oldstata

Don't let it scare you, I have had a buddy showing me. A few tricks and he did most of the work on my right side, but now I have done both my fenders and trunk lid and working in my doors now with very little help

A good source for your body panels is Desert Valley Auto in Phoenix Arizona.dvap.com

Nice, it looks like yours is coming along very nicely! I am looking forward to this.

mighty mouse

Thank you.

Mighty Mouse, I made the lower section on my right side my buddy did the wheel well lip area it's very easy I think I had the rough patch made in less the a hr.

Just check and see how bad your rust is could get worse as you go but from the pics don't look bad at all

mighty mouse

Thank you, I am hoping to check that out tomorrow, it's suppose to be nice. So I think I will spend a Saturday playing. I will dig all the crap out and see what I have.


Thanks again for your help and confidence. I am looking forward to this. I miss driving her.
