I have a '71 GS convert that needs quarters. Since convertible panels are hard to find, my choices are limited. Does anyone make a good Repro hardtop quarter panel? I've heard that everything out there, while it can be made to fit, is just not worth the effort to get it to fit a convertible properly. Would cutting up a used original hardtop quarter to fit my convertible be the way to go? Thanks
Yes Then and Now make a very nice repo and while I am no body man I have held it on my hands and can say its a beautiful piece. I hear at BG a car will be there with them on it
We just finished putting a set on a convertible....some modifications across the top, but well worth the effort. Mark
Hi Mark-I'm still unclear of exactly what need to be cut to make your quarters fit a convertible. Do you have any pics of the convertible quarter conversion you can send me? Thanks
this is what we did on my car (not using Mark's repro quarter, but an early one). I imagine you would do something similar depending how far up your quarters are rusted:
We sectioned the quarter on the flat top near the decklid and fit it along the top well and into the door jamb. We wanted to use the factory seams where possible. I will post some pictures tomorrow. I don't think the pics are up on our facebook page yet.
