Quarter Panel door jamb support brace

[bdahlg68]

Does anyone know where I can get the upright support panel that goes between the quarter and inner rear structure in the door jamb area? As far as I can tell, these don't come with new quarters and I hacked one removing a quarter. ANy help would be much appreciated.

Yes i have felt your pain. I have looked far and wide and nobody makes it. I did find a wrecking yard for 1st Gen camaro's called (David T's). They are in Alberta Canada and are very helpful. They cut one out of an old camaro and shipped it to me. Their number is 780-454-3330. You can Google them also and look at all the camaro's they have rotting in the snow Anways hope that helps. Take care

Thanks Jeremy. I just shot them a note requesting the part. I'm already thinking about my next project - they've got quite the inventory!

Im not sure where you looked,but I know AMD sells their full OEM style quarters as well as skins with the pieces you need,they also sell skins without these pieces, let me know what year you're working on, I'll get you a quote







You get the idea

Stefan, I think he is looking for the inner brace that the door striker threads into. It's not part of the factory style quarters, is it?

Correct. I believe it is called a door lock pillar reinforcement panel.

Aghh...OK, I just don't see how can you damage that when removing the skin, did you use a jackhammer?lol

Well i took mine out with a jack hammer and when i got the quarter panel off i accidentally threw it away with the bad quarter before i removed it. They make every replacement piece for these cars but that, they also rott on the bottom pretty bad. Well my car was horrible when i got it.


Anyways Glad I could help!! It worked for me and they sent me another. Happy building!
