I have some rust around the wheel wells on the rear 1/4 panels that I need to repair. Everyone has patch panels for 67-68, but not 69 for some reason. I don't want to have to replace the entire 1/4 panel obviously. Anyone know where they can be found? Would Camaro patch panels be the same if I can find some? Thanks.
I bought patch panels for rear 1/4 for my 69 from Classic 3 yrs ago...C200R and C200L are the part no`s , for Right and Left...page 343 in their latest catalog...$39.95 ea.
and Yes, I think camaro patches there would be same...
I now also know that there are patch panels made for front fenders for 69, my buddy bought some...not sure who makes/sells those...but they are not listed anywhere (as far as I know), I have not seen his he had them shipped directly to body man...I might find out WHO he bought them from
Probably could fill the louvers in (although you probably don't want to do that) or search for a 69' with that is toast but has good ones you can cut that section off of.

You might be better off purchasing a "partial" quarter repair panel and cut off what you need. Be sure and check the outer wheel house where it meets the quarter panel. If the quarter is rusted, the outer wheel houses may be rusted as well.
I have a left side (driver's) quarter repair panel that I will sell at a loss - I decided to put full quarters on my hardtop. Not sure what shipping would be to ME. PM me if you are interested.
Sorry ,thought you meant the rear part (that usually rusts first)... Like David says, go for a used part or fill in these louvers on the `Maro ones...
by the way if anyone is looking for the front fender patches , I found out this...: Page 45 in AMES. Part #FC424GL (left side) & #FC424GR (right side). The price is $54 each.
I would buy the full partial like Tom suggested. They are out there correct for Firebirds. Then you have the whole thing in one piece. It's also good to get the full outer wheel house so you have a nice continuous inner lip to fasten to. Jim
