WOW rust!!!!

My 85 camaro is rust free except the rear drivers side quarter pannel. It never looked that bad, but today I decided to fix it. There was a lot of rust. I put it all in a bag and I was going to weigh it. Looks like a new quarter pannel will be the esiest way. I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get a stamped peice. I looked on some crash parts web pages. None of them had what I needed.

I never thought it would be this hard to find that part. I will try the junk yard. Thanks.

i got aftermarket 1/4 skins from year one and had no problems w/ them at all. i didnt replace the whole thing just the wheel opening, but they matched right up and fit nice and tight

they were $100 a piece. i think the total was around $350 bought and shipped

I have some rust free quarters on a 89 z-28 im parting out (the whole car is rust free, got pics of floor boards,wheel wells, etc.). If interested, pm and Ill get u details/pics (Im selling them cheap). If not that route, a couple years ago I bought a set of quarters from Keystone. They were repros, but fit up nice. I spent $175 per quarter back then.

I looked on year one and they have the skins now for $78.00. Not to bad. But I will probably go with junk yard parts. I dont need the whole quarter.
