I have an original 5W project that someone in the 60s hammered the rear quarter panel bead apparently to make some fender fit? Don't know they did it, but now I have to deal with it. 90% of the quarter panel is fine so a complete quarter panel replacement would be overkill. Anyone have any ideas? Are there any partial patch panels that would repair the bead? Thanks for the help.

Check with Brookville in Ohio. They make the 32 bodies and may be able to help.

Brookville makes the 3-window coupe and roadster bodies and the profile of the quarter panels immediately above the rear fenders differs considerably from that of 5-window/sport coupe quarter panels. Try the west coast people duplicating the 5-window bodies.

Thanks guys. I'm always especially thankful when Dave chimes in and I know he'd like a reward (LOL), so I'll post a couple photos. I do have the frame horn covers and certainly look forward to putting them back on! Right! As you two certainly know that is probably why the previous owner left them off...

Looks to be a very worthwhile project. I've always liked 5-window coupes.
