Hi guys, I'm needing to have the quarter panels on my 73 Charger repaired. From what I've been hearing nobody makes full quarter panels for the 73. Anybody have recommendations where to get the best quarter skins. Thank You
 
There are two versions - the skins made by Tabco, which are resold (at a mark up) through a number of vendors, and the "hand formed" patch panels. The Tabco pieces are reported to be reasonably good stampings.

There is some debate over whether or not 72 lower patch panels can be used. Rearward, probably. Between the wheel well and the door jamb you'd probably need to rework them a bit. Wheel arch may also be different but I think the outer wheel tub is the same.

How bad are your quarters?
 
Thanks for reply Montclair. Mine can be fixed with just the skins & trunk floor drop offs. I found them in the Browns of Two Rivers Catalog but not sure of their quality or if they have the best price. I was wanting to get opinions from other members.I've always heard there were no full quarters for 73's. Thanks again for your help.

The bad stampings look flat and clearly incorrect to the eye.

If viewed side by side the differences are super obvious.

Tabco/Goodmark/Sherman can be found on ebay, so can the bad ones.
 
Those look like the Tabco panels.

The link is 10 years old.

The last price I saw for them was closer to $549 plus over a hundred in shipping.
...and that was 5 years ago.

Local CL had a pair listed for $1200 and they were gone in less than a week.
 
Yeah they are the Tabcos. Not a lot of install photos out there, posting for reference.
 
Thanks for replying to my post guys. It sounds like the Tabco have the best fit. Now I'll start shopping for the best price.
