I'm having a hard time finding a full replacement quarter for my car, does anyone make a full rear 1/4 for a 68 vert? Thanks

Classic Industries Or National Parts Depot, I got full quarters for my 69 for NPD and the steel was heavier than the quarters i saw from other outlets, they are all over the place you can buy just about any reproduction sheet metal for the 68's. on the other hand finding 69 convertible sheet metal is harder. Classic Industries full quarters are on page 373 of the latest firebird catalog.

I think I must be missing something here. I don't have the classic industries, but do have the NPD. I don't see anything for 68 full replacement for vert, only for 69 or coupe. Am I missing something? Thanks for the help.

I ended up using a coupe quarter to replace mine. Here's my story: http://www.geocities.com/jims68fb/Quarter.html

The body shop told me that they thought the quality was pretty good with the NPD coupe quarter. One of the other guys here on the Forum has mentioned that he didn't like the fit.

I don't see them in my NPD catalog but you should call them, 734-591-1956 for your area, Classic industries shows them in their catalog 1968 complete quarters convertible panels page 372. Go to their web site at www.classicindustries.com, download the catalog and go to page 372.
