1970 Firebird sail panels...
Are there reproduction quarters with sail panels available for these cars? I couldn't find any in either the Classic Industries or Year One catalogs, not even the sail panels alone.

I think you're right, after looking through some posts about reproduction body panel problems a used OEM piece might be my best bet... |
I had a vinyl roof car and mine had a fair amount of rust in the sails. I had my sheetmetal guys fab some up, but I wish I would have sourced a donor car to cut the piece out of. I will probably have to do that anyway as it will be hard to body work the one they fabbed up. It didn't come out as good as I had hoped.

currently only 80% skins available for 70-73 firebirds which I am suprised to still see. tail panels were just released last year and if you can find an NOS quarter, expect to pay nearly $2k for it.

I'll look for a donor piece, I'm starting to suspect this was originally a vinyl-top car as the roof is good and I only found mud on the lower part of the sail, where the pins for the trim would be. I'll be getting it blasted soon, all the secrets will be revealed! |
In a worse case deal you could stitch a 74 replacement panel sail section into the existing panel.... Not a great option,,, but at least it's an option....
