Everything I have read about the quarter panels sold now is that they all come from the same manufacture. I was wondering if anyone has dealt with sheetmetal from JCW and if they are the same as what Yearone or Paddock sells?http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/ItemB...021575210337874 "No great genius has ever existed without some touch of madness." - Aristotle

I will say that the sheetmetal I bought from them for my Powerwagon was EXCELLENT (and made in the USA!). I can't say the same for the lower quarters I bought for my Charger from Year One. Be careful what you order. Some of the panels are listed as "universal". You don't want those. Stan

I think..they were about 69$$ back then mike

He bought them anyway, because he is kinda cheap and sure enough they were not right either. He sort of pointed it out to me when I was inspecting his work. I tried not to make much of it, cause I don't want to be "that" guy. Otherwise the rusty turd bucket he started with really is looking good.

It took a lot of patience and trial and error fitting but in the end they really looked better that the badly rotted panels that I had.
