Short report on my quarters. First the are not full quarters. They are for wheel well back to bumper and about half way up. I bought these from Classic Industries.
They are made in the US, reasonably priced (about $110) and most things at Classic are on sale most of the time. I am NOT a body man but they look decent to me. I think they are a step ahead of making the panels from scratch. Right side is MM8216. Left side is MM8215. Fits '67 Coronet R/T but prob fit any '67 Coronet.

Theyll work... yours rusty below the body line?
 
These are made by Sherman Parts, not the best but it's all that's available. Body lines are softer than OE. I used a LR piece like you have. I had the RR on order but it never showed up so I fabricated that side. I also bought the LS wheel arch but ended up returning that one. I didn't need much so it was better to fabricate in my case. Body lines were poor on the wheel arch.
 
Is the piece between the trunk and lower fenders ( forgive me for not remembering what its called) being reproduced for the 66-67 models?
 
a inner rear quarter? I dont think reproduced.. at least from what I remember.. the very least on these.. there easy to fabricate without having to much of a 3 demensional roll..

Yes. It's called a trunk extension. I purchased the left side for my car not to long ago. I believe it was a Sherman Parts piece. Again, quality is not good but it's the only thing out there.
 
Ya, i ordered the left one as well. Doesn't look too bad, but it looks like the oblong hole in the panel was cut with a plasma cutter. Very rough. The original one has a smooth cut. Not sure what the hole is for and if I need to smooth the edge on the repo.
 
The hole is for the filler neck to the gas tank, left side only. And yes, very crude hole. Like I said, I'm not impressed at all with Sherman Parts but it's all we have. AMD would put them out of business if they would make parts.
 
Thanks. See, I would know that if my car was not totally disassembled when I bought it. Send me an instruction manual.
 
Actually, I do have the factory service manual and factory parts manual. It is surprising how good the parts manual is for seeing how things go back together.
