    So I was traveling south bound on Pacific coast hwy on friday 10/10/08 from visiting my daughter @ school about 3pm, when a lady decided to turn into beach parking and slamed right into my drivers side quarter panel sending me into a flat spin across three lanes of traffic:eek:!!! Lucky for me I did'nt hit any other cars next to me and as I flew into on coming cars they stopped before I could take anyone of them out! Aside from a nasty bump on my head I was allright and was attended to by parmedics on the scene and was released(totally the drivers fault and insurance will cover everything). So my question is, does anyone know where I can find a driver side quarter panel for my 1953 pontiac chieften or a place to find one? any leads would really help.
    Thanks

    Man, I worry all the time about having an accident in one of my old trucks. I try to be extra, extra safe, but sometimes like this it can't be avoided with other idiots out driving around too. Glad you weren't hurt and good luck with the repairs. Maybe there will be an unexpected positive side to it somehow as well as is often the case.
     
  9. Glad to hear you're okay.

    On the quarter, you're going to have to locate a used one - NOS may be out there but will be hard to find and big bucks when you do. So far as I know the only repop stuff are three rust repair pieces for the lower part - a front, a back and a wheel arch, made intended for Chevy - but I'd even have to verify that. The interchange should be all Pontiac of the same body style for 53 and 54. Hardtop may differ from 2dr sedan.

    You can also check places like Ames Performance Engineering and see what they have to say.

    Try Owens Salvage, Wellington TX. Shipping costs something, but you will probably make it back on your good deal.
