what company has the best repro quarters for a 69 GS 400 also I need the outer wheel housings uzzled: thank Mark :TU:
I searched hi and lo for outer wheel housings when my 69 was being done. I could not find them ANYWHERE ON EARTH! The inners are available. I think I got them from Y1 or Cars. The quarter skins I think I also got from Cars. The portion used was from the marker lens opening on down. If you use the whole skin, the "ridge" on the top portion is clearly not as pronounced as the one on your original quarter. I guess it's a limitation in the casting process of the new ones. The guy who did my body work had to fabricate the outer housings after getting the inners pieced in and quarters on and trunk floor in. I know these are available for GTO, Chevelle, yada yada yada. But forget the GS, at least the 68 and 69 anyway. Anybody know any different?
I've heard through the 'grapevine' that Chevelle wheelhouses can be used with 'strategically placed' cuts and a 'little' manipulation. Someone told me three cuts and a bend to a Chevelle wheelhouse and it fits the GS perfectly. I believe it was one of Al's (GSThunder) friends in South Jersey. Anyone have any additional information on this? Anyone tried it?
Hey thanks guys but I remember someone asked about outer housings on the old gsca board and he got a reply that some company had them he posted pics or I went to there web sight and saw them but all that info's gone and I don't remember the name of the company o No: was hopeing he'd see my post but no luck yet :ball: same old story with the aftermarket I have a stack of catologes from the paddock they have front inner fenders and rear outer housings for goats,novas ect. hell you can get new core supports and grills for 66-72 chevelles (glad I don't need a grill) :af: and the list would fill the post BUT NOTHING FOR BUICKS !!! as usual :af: I can get more stuff for my 68 w-31 then i can for my 69 stage 1 :shock: ooppss !!!!!!!sorry guys i'm just venting :ball: thanks mark :stmad: :stmad: :stmad:
Hi Mark - How about registering your GS? Please see my website for details. I have only 1 1969 Stage1 listed and it's lonely :Brow: Thanks!
Mark, How would you like a nice, almost totally rust free, 69 Skylark 2dr. HT body. Car is originally from CA. Small rust spot in the corner of the trunk and some in the left rear foot well. Everything else is solid. Car has ugly primer job over the original paint. I can send pics if you are interested. NO TITLE, so its for parts only. $700 for the body shell.
