AMD quarters for 69' Coronet, what are the issues? - 12/29/14 12:49 AM

I ordered a quarter for my 69' Bee from Summit. How is the fitment of these? I have read somewhere that the rear window flange is stamped at the wrong angle on the pillar. Any other problems?

Some trimming by the roof gutter as they are made to be installed without a roof. Where the quarter meets the bumper requires some attention. But still a nice part in my opinion.

My quarter is scheduled to arrive Monday, hopefully not bashed up. If all goes well, this will be my spring project.

Just installed a pair on a 69 bee post car. No issues as I installed tail panel too. I never trimmed up any of it. I melted the lead out of the sail panel seam. Drilled out the drip rail spot welds by the 1/4 windows slipped it up under the roof and into the area in the drip rail area. Fit it over the factory wheel houses and it was all set. If you have a Facebook account look up Hartford's Best Paint and Body. I should have some pics there.

i had problems with the rear window flange angle
and i had to add quite a bit of metal around the wheelwell radius to mate it up to the quarter properly.

. I am going to replace the outer wheel house and the trunk floor extension so maybe I can get those areas to work with out too much grief

. The window flange I plan on leaving the original if I have to and cut the replacement panel to fit. We will see how it goes....

i replaced both of those parts also.
if i had to do it all over again,i would of spliced what i had to in the wheelwell area instead of replacing the whole thing
because you will be amazed at how bad it will fit all together..
they have retooled that outer wheelwell 3 times that i know of for that very reason.
good luck

That's how I did a 70 runner I'm working on now and I had to add some metal to on to get it to fit how I liked. The ds fit better than the ps... that's one parts I have yet to get from any manufacturer that fit like an original.

Jeez John...they were sold to a board member 20 minutes after I posted the pictures...should have said "$200 for both and cant give them away to any cheap Canucks up here".
I'm 10 minutes from the NY state border where they are headed,...
...must be where all the money is.

What happened to the rest of the car? Where do the reflectors go on Canadian quarter panels?

Ya, those look like about a foot or so are cut off the rear. But they have real nice wheel openings, well worth the price

They sure were

They are going to donate bits and pieces for my Bee. Nice to keep it real with original metal.

I didn't even open the thread till I was tipped off about them.

No big deal I'm selling the car they would have gone one anyway , I'll let the next owner worry about it.

The ends cut off both are why they were $100 each and not $500 each.
I was not the one who removed them, but I wish I could have got my hands on the guy before he did.
They have lots of meat for what James is going to use them for.

Those panels were perfect for a 1969 440-6 Super Bee that has been tubed and the lips cut about 4 to 6 inches. Sure glad someone is going to make good use of those panels.

Wish I could find the same kind of factory panels for a 1971 Challenger that has had the quarters trimmed for that kind of price.

Sorry Dave. Payback for "stealing" those 5-14-69 H-wheels at Carlisle a few years back before I found them

Dave ..You have to get out more.
They've been sitting at Kevin's place for close to two years now.
I had all those pictures with same $200.00 on kijiji twice without any bites.

Re: AMD quarters for 69' Coronet, what are the issues? - 01/10/15 03:12 AM

That James guy sure is fast. I wouldn't even have to paint them to use them on my car

They would be perfect for that guy who shortened a 68 charger to make it more like an e body a few years back

Remember Terry I took those orange beasties to the Chrysler Mississauga Warehouse Show in the Spring for you to take them back home. You had no room left in your truck after buying a few things. I could not get my friend with the Bee to even come over and look at them. After a couple of times on Kijiji, Ontario I did not get one phone call or one email about them and put them back in the parts garage in the backyard. This might be the new way to sell parts by putting pictures of the parts on none related posts or near related posts. You should of picked those panels up after I emptied the other half of your truck of parts after Moparo took the first half.
