CA WTB Cut rear fender left overs

400iso · Oct 22, 2018

Hi Guys,

Wondering if anyone has any leftover rear fender cut outs from a fender flare install? Looking to patch in what I'm missing from mine, rather than replace the entire panel.

Also wondering if vendors sell this online?

Thanks

Buy the lower quarter and cut what you need out of it. This is an extremely common practice in the autobody industry for all kinds of sheet metal parts.

There's even a tech article about it:

400, not sure how much you need to patch but I've done both and spent way more time patching than replacing. Mark

Agree it's much easier to replace the entire lower quarter . But if it's only a small cut out I'd probably just patch too . That said I have a driver side cut out from a repair this past summer .

Thanks guys, the previous owner cut about an inch off for some funny aftermarket fender flares I've never seen before.

I have this left over from my build. We cut that small missing section off it so would it work? I can measure tomorrow to see if its enough to repair yours. Have a pic of your right rear quarter?

Nice! I think that would cover most except near the rear/end of the wheel well. Good looking build!

I'm going to a yard this weekend to look for a donor. Hopefully I find something. I also put a feeler out to some of the custom shops here in SoCal. Left my number in case they have any quarter cut outs. It's such a small area, 1-1.5" off the lip so trying my hardest not to replace the whole panel!

That looks amazing, where did you get the patch from? Or did you custom make it?

Agreed. It's tough because it's only missing about 1-1.5" around the lip. Trying to preserve the quarter panel and not replace it. Do you have a passenger side too?

Nope , just the driver . Repaired one that got hit hard in the lt. rear corner . I used to have a bunch of cut outs . Finally tossed them because nobody wanted to cover the shipping costs .

I bought the cut outs from a member here. Mine was cut just to the line above the natural bottom edge. It really wasn't crazy noticeable but it bothered me!
