    the rear filler panel for 64-64 buicks are different from the chevies. i seen in a different forum on here that some one is using one for a GTO and it is correct. 64-65 rear 1/4 patch or 1/2 panels would be awsome

    On a lot of 70-72 cars, you are going to need more than just the filler panel. you will need the brace underneith it. my was totally gone. another thing to realize is that the bottom trim piecebelow the window is actually the same piece as the filler. this may be a mor complicated peice than it looks.

    sounds good

    I sent Allen Hall an email ref. 64-65 SAkylark quarters and 70 Wildcat trunk sheet metal and this was his reply



    Hello Calvin;
    I am glad to hear from the Buick community. I have good memories of my '52 4 door and '56 station wagon.
    First of all have you looked at the parts we are making for other cars? This will give you some idea of our capacities. We are hand making panels. I spend a lot of time asking people such as yourself to mail me rusty panels. This is how we are able to reproduce panels. Original parts can be nasty and rough, we just need panels that show necessary details and shapes.
    I would like someone to send me a lower section of the Skylark front fender, between the front tire and the door. Same thing for the rear 1/4 panels, I believe we could make the rear 1/4s up to the horizontal trim line. The trim around the wheel opening would be a big help. We can make this in 2 pieces, door to near the tail light.
    Same thing with the Wildcat trunk. If you do not have a spare rusty trunk floor you might send us a drawing and we could make up sections or maybe the whole thing. The "side pockets" are the only aspect that look difficult. Thank you and happy New Year! Allen Hall


    this sound promising. i'll send this link to them
