Just an FYI, I just called one of the sheet metal manufacturers and was told that the full quarter panels (not skins) for the 69 Chevelle are expected to be available by next spring. Keep your eyes peeled as they say. Makes me wonder where they get the cars that they test-fit these things on. I

I can say this from experience. I put a repro 1/4 skin on my 70 and 2 repro 1/4 skins on my 69. The ones on the 69 were a horrible fit. The corners where it meets the tail light housing on the 69 were rounded and not nice sharp 90 degree corners so that made it very difficult to get thetail light
