I just bought my '69 Malibu last week and I'm lining up what I will need. However, I am unsure if I will be needing a new rear passenger wheel well. Could anyone assist me with this?

I'm going to be getting 2 new full quarters so please don't comment on them.

Thanks,

Craig

Yes the outer wheelhouse will need to be replaced and the trunk floor extensions look to be a little ripe as well. The extensions could be sandblasted and patched maybe but for the cost and quality they should be replaced. Do one side at a time.

Once the 1/4s are off the wheelhouse is easy, I would replace it for sure.
