i found some old,bad, body work hidden in my rear drivers quarter.(sorry no pic at this time)
pretty much need to replace last 4 inches and down about 6 inches on end of "fin". very complex piece of metal and i dont have the metal working tools to build it.my question is, is there any body panels i can purchase out there, or am i stuck cutting it out of a good body?
 
I have a couple 66 coronets that I am parting, I would be happy to hack pieces out of them. While I think that you will have to buy the patch panels to repair the lowers, Im sure that I have some nice "fin" areas. If you could post up a pic I can give you a price on what you need
 
Nothing aftermarket. I had to do the same repair, I think.

There are two patch panels available.

One is decent.

One is total crap and very flat.

A 4D donor may be your best source.

Unlike 68-70, 2D and 4D have the same wheel wells.

The 4D cars do not rust on the wheel well like the 2D cars do because of the way the rear door vs the rear window is made. There is usually enough metal from the 4D to cover where the 2D rusts.
 
here is a pic. would love the whole end but would settle for that top end.

Do you know which is better? Sherman or the other one?
