Looking at replacing the badly damaged quarter panels on my 67. I've read that the GM NOS quarters are the only way to go, but how can I be sure I'm getting actual NOS panels and not the $400 reproductions I see in the catalogs. Especially if I buy them online? Thanks

All GM panels will have a date code on them, and if hasn't fell off, a little GM sticker. I think they will also have the part # stamped on them, but I'm not entirely sure, someone else can probably answer this more accurately than me.

I just bought some oer quarter panels and I found that at the top of the door where it meets the quarter panel it has about a 1/4 inch larger gap than the oem. They didn't get a good top quality bend at that point. 67 convertable tuned port

Of course the easiest way to tell if you have an OEM NOS quarter is the price! http://www.camaros.net/forum/smile.gif Kidding aside, the OEM is a FULL quarter and goes all the way up to the roof panel and into the trunk and door jambs.

I bought a pair of GM quarters,before the repros were availiable,and they have the GM sticker with the part number.I don't know of any part number stamped in the sheet metal itself.I think you will just have to hope the seller of online quarters will be honest,you're kind of at their mercy when buying like that.Maybe you should try D&R,they advertise GM panels,or,check out a Super Chevy near you,often there are some to be had.Good Luck!
