65 Suburban Quarter Panel Patches
 

I have on the list to cut and swap the passenger rear quarter panel on my 65 it had a nasty something back in the day and I think pulling pounding and smoothing with minimal filler is out of the question for this guy. Which sucks because it has great patina'd paint. Here are a couple pics of the damage.

Does anyone make replacement parts or have a line on cut up pieces?
Thanks HaNK

A good body man can straighten that out. It's a clean Suburban otherwise, why cut it up, spend a couple bucks on a body man. the damage isn't real bad.

That's fixable. No need to Frankenstein that OG panel.

I agree with trying to find a 'good' body man, one that knows how to work metal.

Good body man good idea Weld a pull plate, tug and heat the kinks. Thanks

Re: 65 Suburban Quarter Panel Patches
 

it is not that simple as weld a pull plate on and bondo up. there is a whole substructure in behind that corner

I think I would go at that from cutting a patch on the inside and working it out. It definately looks fixeable to me.

Re: 65 Suburban Quarter Panel Patches
 

That should be fixable.The damage to my rear quarter was worse than that and I fixed it at home with minimal tools and I am no panelbeater.There should be some pics on my build thread.I cut the inner panel to gain some more access to the panel.

Thanks Kiwi we were checking out cutting an access hole in the inner panel from under neath to get at that nastiness.

There is no substructure behind there.. It's completely hollow.. It was recommended I cut the inner panel from my suburban to repair mine--but mine wasn't so bad.. For yours.. I'd recommend cutting it out possibly on the inside and working that out.. You may be able to save your original paint, or a large majority of it... Repairing the inner part and painting it won't be as difficult as the outside..
Remove the right tail light and take a look inside and you'll know what you're working with..

that is off the inside of the l/rear corner and it is spot welded the way round from the bottom of the rear post out to the fender and down
