New body pannels

front fenders
rockers
rear fender or quarters
door skins
Floor pans


Who has em and for the best prices?

So far all I found are TA fender for $67 each new, will work on my Bird, just have to get them fender scoops plastics.

What I really need are rears though.........

Would prefer aftermarket stamped over junk yard hacked.

what car would all these parts be going on, the v6 bird? why not just buy another one in better shape, it would be cheaper to just buy a v6 bird in good shape than buy all those panels and do the work..

That will never happen, Ill spend 300 times as much if need be to keep my original car as it not just any car to me. Way to many personal attachments.
Ill have this car for life and replace body pannels every 10 yrs if need be. Not gonna do a vin swap either.

I re-did everything 4 years ago with new paint, stripped whole car to bare metal and fixed. Though in a few key spots rust came back with vengence. New stamped rear section would be nice.

Don't really need front fenders.

Ah, if it's a sentimental thing for you and you never plan on selling it than by all means fix her up. It's good to see someone actually taking the time to fix up a v6 car that needs that much work. If it wern't a sentimental thing I'd say just take $500 and go find one in nice shape.
