I know it's a weird question, but I am at a point with my car where I need to replace both rear quarters. I'm thinking of putting on '69 rear quarters, I know the outer wheel well tub is probably different, requiring mods or replacement, but I love the '69 wheel wells and how they are flattened at the top compared to '67 and '68. I know people have mixed and matched Firebird panels and Camaro panels, and there is '69 Bird drag car here with '68 quarters. I also know the body line on the door will have to be carried through to match the fender near the front.
Will thet go on in the same location? Is the door skin body line the same height?
Thanks, all. And no, I'm not going to just buy a '69
Intersting question. I know the inner and outer rear fenders are slightly wider, (for a drag car that's a good thing especially if you plan to min-tub)
I would imagine you could graft them in for the rear 1/4's and the tail panel. (you would have to change that too) then I would think it would be easier to replace the front fenders and you would have to also graft on a partial door skin for each side (easier than trying to get 69 doors onto a 67).
Do you plan on keeping the 67 front bumper & grills etc? The front Valance would have to be modified as well as the leading edges of the fenders to make them work with a full bumper... all of this would take some fabrication, but I don't see why it wouldn't be possible. It all depends on how much of the work you can do yourself as to how feasable it might be budget wise & time wise... Or maybe you just restyle the wheel well openings by grafting in some of the 69 body lines and feather them in?
