65 special parts

**Kevin** · 09-26-2008, 08:28 PM

I am having difficulty finding any Buick patch panels. May sound like a stupid question, but is a 65 Special and Skylark close enough in body styles that the rear lower quarters might interchange??

I have been looking as well, I haven't found any patches or quarter skins yet, but if you damage/ rust is below the lowest body line , the 1965 chevelle/malibu has a patch that is very close.

Skylark and Specials use the same quarter panels. There might be differences in trim.

Unfortunately, there are currently no reproduction quarters available. Many do need them, so hopefully they will be made in the future.

Not really,unless you dont mind chevy lines on your buick,the wheel arch is totaly different.

I know that the Malibu skin is different but the patch panel that is for the bottom of the quarter is very close. In my case I only need an area that is approx. 4 x 6 and the wheel well angle is easily changed.

thanks
