has anyone bought one of the new repop 64 to 67 quarter panels I was wondering what the quality of the panels are as my 65 doesn't have any rust but they are beat up pretty bad and I'm trying to decide if I should fix or replace????

Not knowing what kind of shape yours is in, I would have to say fix what you have. IMHO

Non rust - no problem. A good body man can hammer out the dents easier than replacing it with an aftermarket one.
Most aftermarket panels are made of thinner gauge material than OEM. Generaly speaking you'll spend more time trying to get it to fit properly because the contures are not that great, especially around the tail light and gas tank hole.

I bought some for my 65 from Browns in Two Rivers WI. I really had no choice, 35 years of Wisconsin winters. I was pleased with them.

See my website for pics.
