What other car shares the same wheel well opening as a 69 valiant ....can't find 1/4s for it so I'm gonna have to piece this one together.......and is the trunk on a valiant the same as a 67-6969 dart other than the badge mounting ? Thanks

Other than the roof and doors, 67-69 Darts and Valiants do not share any exterior sheet metal.

You are pretty much limited to 67-69 Valiant for quarter panels. If you just need from the wheel opening back, you could also check Valiant 4 doors, '67-72 (the side marker lights move around almost yearly). Trunk floor is probably the same as a Dart, but the trunk floor extensions are different. Dart and Valiant trunk lids are no where close.

AFAIK, there aren't any die stamped lower quarter patch panels, much less full quarter panels.

If you're only talking about the rear wheelwell area below the side body line then '70-'74 duster sheetmetal should work.

Should be about the same back at the bumper edge, but I think the wheel opening edge may be slightly different, and the overall length of the 2 may be different.

But yes, that may be as close as you can get.
