Does anyone know if there are any vendors offering replacement complete quarter panels for a 66-67 El Camino? I see 1968-1972's all over the place, but no 66-67. Any help is appreciated.

I dont have my catalog, but I kind of remember OPG had them. I will check my manuals later. Are you going to replace it yourself? If you do, can you take some pics and post your how to. I may do mine during the summer.

No problem. I'll let you know as I move forward, and I'll send you pics of the process. Thanks for your help.

I need info on this too. I need to replace a LT quarter on my rusty bucket daily driver. :D

I've replaced lots of the 66 SS, 95% of it has been GoodMark. Check with NIGHTSHADE on this site, he's a GoodMark rep and will make you a good deal on whatever you need... if you see it on http://www.goodmarkindustries.com he can get it for you.

Damned, my girlfriend stached my catalogs again.

I'm looking at my catalog from: www.impalas.com and they do have it. Its listed at $319.99 for either side.

I checked goodmarks and they did not have it listed.

Please take lots of pictures so that I can see how you do it. I will end up doing this too very soon.

I have seen the quarter skins for 66-67 El Caminos and they are not good. The skin fits OVER the existing quarter (except in the rocker area). I only needed the LH skin to make 2 patch panels and it was okay for that. I can't imagine the work to use the entire quarter skin. But it is the only thing available, unless they stopped selling them (bought mine 2 years ago).

Geez, my bad, I was looking at the quarter skins and instead of the actual quarter panels. I can't find my manuals either to check other places. Does anyone else know where to get the quarters?

I bought one of the aftermarket panels(or skin?) and was told it is for a 66 but will fit a 67. I don't know if there is a difference other than the taillights. No matter really as it would not have worked. The lower style line was way off for one. I bought it to cut up for patches around gas door and behind rear wheelwell. Got it from Gold Eagle Classics in Aloha,Oregon.
