Re: [Chrysler300] Lower rear quarter panels

["patrick grant" <gran102@xxxx>]

this post prompts me to ask if these panels as being represented for 57-59 would not also work on 60-62's. i realize the 62 had a rear bumper indent and the top edge of the replacement panel might require a lower cutoff point but is the wheel well curvature and rocker panel ledge not the same.? after all most car rot out at the bottom 6-8 inches and that is the hardest to form if you dont have a replacement panel. also would these panels not also fit desotos and dodges and plymouths. that would increase the volume for metalcrafters and maybe prompt more panels.??

I am curious if anyone else has found the new quarter panels from
MetalCrafters to be too short when doing the installation?? We found the
bottom of the front edge of the panels to be 5/8" too short and the rear
part to range from about 1/2" at the top to about 1-3/8" short at the
bottom. Take a look at the following webpage and you can see what I am
referring to:

The shortfall is between the blue and red lines in the first two pictures.

In any case, the passenger side is now on and ready for additional panel
beating to bring it around to being straight.... And that makes me very
pleased.

George
