I am having rear quarters installed on a 69 chevelle using the goodmark panels. The rocker is bad as well and he has installed the panel to the bottom of where the rocker goes, removing the body line seperating the two. The goodmark panel does not have the line molded into it. Any idea's on how to solve this or is it no big deal? Thanks For your thoughts and Idea's!!!

I am not sure what you mean by "body line". Are you referring to seam or pinch weld where the two panels are joined? If you are and that new panel doesn't have the fold in it required to replace the old panel I would say you simply have to make it. If the panel is too short, just weld on the amount needed and fold it or fold it first before welding it on.
If your body man can not figure this out, find another body man.

Martin, the part I'm speaking of is the same line that the lower door has, just as it goes along the forward edge of the rear quarter. The goodmark extends all the way down to cover the area that the rocker had taken, but doesn't have the internal groove that the original had. I believe that they are two parts from the factory, and should be replaced that way??? He has installed one quarter already-looks good , but no line. Thanks For your help!!!
