I need LH quarter panel replacement...for a '73 http://www.ebay.com/itm/1974-76-SCAMP-o ... Yd&vxp=mtr I know this is for 74-76 but if I recall correctly I believe all the metal is a correct replacement down to a '73 on the rear-end because I think that the only change between 73-74 was the bumpers? Correct me if I am wrong....d Would someone please talk these insane people down, I've tried and they just give me disrespectful answers like "why don't you buy a chevy, they're cheaper." Wildcat mopar, chevy sucks I buy Ford even before chevy crap. |

It's really not economical to own these cars as it was 20 years ago. Less expensive and more easily maintained transportation is readily available. Making one of these cars nice should be done only for the love of the hobby or as therapy. And as you're finding, therapy can be costly. |

Exactly, I think the last window of opportunity was about 2005 when our local yards had a fair amount of these to pick over. I knew this was going to happen seeing how the 40's, 50's car owners were having issues trying to find anything for their cars. My grandfather told me to make sure to stock up on spares as there may not be any available, so over the years if I saw a donor, I tend to pick it apart and spend the money.... now when I see prices like that I have to thank my grandfather since I squirreled enough parts away to keep at least one duster in spare parts.... You can save money if you take a weekend and target some off the beaten path junkyards... here in Oregon there used to be 2 in Mollala both owned by the same family...the one owned by the father doesn't have much in the way of motivation parts, but they had a lot of bodies at one time, and a fair amount of A-body mopars...(prices were OK, they are proud of certain cars...so expect higher prices for Demon panels...and at one time they had a Mustang California Special on the top rack in the shop that got bent in half in a T-bone....won't part it out, will only sell it whole...). You can also competitively shop too... call All American Classics and see what they would price the same panel for.... |

Unless you need the inner structure, I would buy one of these. http://www.getallparts.com/Plymouth-Val ... aQodWm0FDA |

Thanks this is a great suggestion. But the problem is with these photos is does this QP (quarter panel) only cover the metal up to the top point of the QP or does it extend across the top of the QP to the trunk lid? By inner structure do you mean this top point towards the trunk lid? I do need the top point metal of the QP.
