I am literally "ILL"... My baby got damaged...

And so far neither the body shop nor I have been able to locate a rear quarter panel for it. I was going to get it repainted and everything on it was mint until a few weeks ago when the rear left mid to lower quater panel got smashed. If anyone knows of any place I may not have tried to find preferably the full quarter section for the shop to cut where desired, I would really appreciate it. It's a 1985 Trans AM.

Thanks in advance for any help. I have a big truck to pick up if I can find one and am more than willing to drive for it if I have too.

I think she found one. Denny had a NOS driver QP in the basement stockroom. Good to hear its going on a pristine car. Good Luck Kathi.

Re: I am literally "ILL"... My baby got damaged...

Yes he did... I am so thrilled to have it too. I even found a brand new ground effect today, so nothing used is going on the car. Denny talked to my body shop owner about a used one he had and decided to let go of the new quarter panel after all, I don't think he really wanted to part with it lol, but I am ever so grateful he did. I am bringing it in next week to have the work done. I am still debating on the number of clear coats to have put on over the blue, but since I probably won't be driving it again till spring because of the snow that will no doubt show up by the time it's done I guess it won't matter how long it takes the paint to dry, so I may have them add more than a few extra coats of clear.

Thanks again... Denny!

Denny called me and we talked the other nite. I am happy you found NOS for your car. If he didn't have one I always have excellent cut offs. Your deserves NOS. I am happy for you.
