Rear fender rust pics?
Anyone have some before and after picks of their rear fender rust repairs? Bout to tackle my drivers side. Then move on to the passenger side.
Thanks

Are you talking about outside on the quarter panel, or the inner wheel well area?

OK. Sorry, I don't have that. I did extensive repairs of the rear inner wheelhouses, but the outer quarter panel sheet metal was OK.

Almost, but man convertibles are completely different as far as the inner structure. On mine there is an inner brace on the sail panel kinda behind the rear side speakers. It's kinda in the way a bit on this rusty wheel arch I'm trying to fix.
Thanks tho

You are correct that 'Verts are different in structure...they have to be for strength. But I don't think full quarters are available anywhere, regardless...so you are installing a skin (from the beltline down) anyway, so the repair is similar...other than being VERY careful not to warp the metal at the sail splice.

The lower part of the panel "rear lower edge" extends farther than the onei have. At this area:
Passenger side looks like this and is closer in resemblance to your panel.
Thanks!

I actually picked up a donor rear quarter panel from a hard top car and cut if where I needed. It was “easier” than buying a reproduction skin honestly.
