Thanks W.Weiland. I attempted to pm you, says your inbox is full.

I'm gearing up for a restoration on a 62 Newport 4 dr. I'm needing a wheel arch repair panel for the left rear quarter. I don't need a full quarter just the area around the wheel opening. I'm not aware of any patch panel being reproduced, open for suggestions. Thanks in advance!

Just a suggestion: Velcro works quite well for door panel attachment. Can be bought anywhere with adhesive backing. Put half on trim panel, half on door shell. No way to tell the difference when its assembled. To remove panel afterwards you just start at the end of Velcro strip and slide your...

FYI:That's a whole lot rarer than a Superbird!

"But there was one just like it sold on Barrett-Jackson for 65K".....Ever heard that one?

Yes that's my Daytona, '05 with 69k. Best truck I've ever owned. I'm hoping to build a new shop this fall/winter. "Grace" the 62 will be the first project done in it...stay tuned.....

For those of you who haven't heard from me for awhile, I'm still here: "Grace moved under her own power today for the first time in 34 years. No brakes yet (or exhaust), but I was able to pull her out of the garage and drain her water/ ad antifreeze. Slow progress is better than no progress...
