Its probley going to be awhile before i get them put on, im broke after buying them and taking my familiy on vacation,and i do have confession, i waited until i received them before i posted this ;D,just to make sure i wasnt stuck waiting two more years for them ,they said there  useing all the same dies as a couple of years ago just a new stamper so i dont think mutch has changed from the ones there are allready floating around.or i hope not ,and as far as the price they told me that the price has whent up on metal and the cost of having them stamped whent up ,maybe they havent changed there web site yet ,maybe you could order them online and try to make them give them to you for that price  :icon_smile_big: ggod luck its about damn time ,but im thinking i will need a inner wheel whale on one side and no one makes them  :shruggy: im hoping the shop can patch it,it would be nice if they would make they rear fllor pans it was a pain in the ass to find NOS ones and my dad is going to need them,

what is the differance between that panel (73-74) and a 72 panel?  :shruggy:

Nacho-RT74

upper body line from end to end since door and quarter window opnening are around 1 and a half taller on 71/72 and straiight at the rear end. 73/74 does have a "lift up" end. Probably lower body line between wheel and door opening is different to. All that diff makes diff curved shape

Dunno about wheel opening height cut.

stilllllllllllllllllllll brokeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :2thumbs: ,My car has taken a new direction  i ve removed the whole front end and rear end ,so im going to have to wait till i get it put back together before i take it to the shop ,and then it might be till income tax time before i get the quarters replaced

mopar73

Do the Tabco panels completly cover the lower rocker or do they stop flush with the bottom in front of the wheelwell?  Also, does anyone know if Tabco is supplying the Paddock?  I've had a pair of 73 quarters on order since June and am about to jump ship.  Paddock had the pair for 400 something and I hate to give the extra bucks if it's only a matter of time for the same one.

Cancelled the Paddock panels.  They told me that they were going to probably drop the vendor that they had.  They've had problems with reliability and failure to deliver.  Going to go with Tabco

Hi All, I've belonged to the web site for over a year now and thought I'd show you some of my work and the progress I've made. I'd read this thread back in the summer and you all had helped me to decide on the tabco right rear quarter panel for my 73 charger. It came two weeks ago and started work on it this past week end and here are some pictures of it. I've given some different angles in hope that they will help you all with the quality of the panel as well as the fit. There was a lot of trimming to do to it. It is still not all the way fit, but, in my opinion, is going well. Thanks All, Steve

Looks like you are off to a great start. I see you cut yours down, but how far up do they go? Do they wrap around the top towards the trunk? I have some damage near the trunk's weatherstriping and would like to take car of the whole quarter at once. How much was shipping and where are you located? How much was the quarter? Their site says $209, but I've heard higher.
Thanks

AZMoparboy

Hi E5, The panel size extends to past the top body line, but doesn't go the the trunk seal area. The price was $330 and shipping was $100 from Ohio to Arizona. Tabco took four weeks to get me the panel, they said that they were having problems with the panels and they were working them out. I could have ordered it from a guy that has a store on ebay for the same price, he buys them from Tabco, he also said he could have got the shipping down too. As for how it fits, I have no experience other than I am an aircraft mechanic (A&P) and I do a lot of reading, ask lots of questions, thats how I learn new things about this hobby. Good luck, Steve

I thought those Cleco's looked out of place on a car  ;)

Looks great!

Nacho-RT74

really does look nice from the pics... I like how the body lines are on it!!! really good cast job from seller or maker!!! I think I'll go with it.

Did you compare if sidemarker recesed area is exactly on same point ?

Can you provide pics of the wheel opening body line around and the body line section between door and wheel ?

Have you tried to mount the molding to be sure lines match ?

Hi Nacho-RT74, I did not compare the side marker area to the other side yet, it looks like it could be a little hi. The side marker area should have a very prominent mold ling around it and as you can see in the picture that it fades out a little at the upper rear corner. The wheel well opening fit the well house very nice, as for the molding, I don't have any the try on the panel. I'll try and get more pictures of the wheel well opening soon. Steve
