    Are there any 71 electra quarter panels or fenders out there for sale? Been trying to find some with absolutely no luck. I have some rust on my left rear qp and maybe a little on the right. Everyone says don't bondo it so I'd like to do it right if possible

    I can check on front fenders, but I don’t remember off the top of my head. I have a pair of NOS rear skirts..

    That would be great! What are your thoughts on bondo on the rear quarter panels?

    Bondo over rust is a no-go. If your newer to body work, I would get a quote on having someone fabricate and weld a patch panel. Can you post a pic? Just slapping mud to fill the holes will end up causing bigger problems down the road.

    May have some fenders, but need to look. Where are you located as shipping is an issue.

    '71 Electra shows as one year front fender in Hollander, with an early and late to boot. Does interchange with the other '71 large Buicks, though. Likely something to due with the one year early "phase in" on GM B cars of the federal basher bumpers.

    '71 LeSabre, Centurion, and Estate Wgn #1578
    '71 Electra "early" #1578
    "late" #1654
    '72 All Except Riviera #1654
