    Barracuda outer wheel house....quality?
    « on: January 15, 2015 - 11:37:27 AM »
    I need a right outer wheel house for my 73 Barracuda.   I could not fing anyone that has the AMD in stock. Is there any other reproduction supplier that makes a good quality outer wheel house?

    I have an AMD left outer wheelhouse and it doesn't fit very well…….the opening is too big and doesn't fit the quarter panel wheel well very good at all.

    Not sure if the Goodmark or Sherman outer wheelhouses fit any better.

    I have a goodmark one that I didn't use.  It fit the goodmark quarter good but when I removed the damaged quarter, the wheelhouse was repairable so I didn't use it.

    You interested in selling it? I need a right (pass) side outer.  They are going to cut the quarter off tomorrow or Saturday and survey the damage.

    The one I have is a driver's side.  If it is not rusted out, I would hammer it back into shape.  That's what I did to mine.  It was hit at the top just above the wheel lip.  When I cut the quarter off, I hammered it back into shape.  Even if it is not absolutely perfect, it will be fine because you can't see it even once the quarter is put back on.  Just make sure the attaching edge that goes to the quarter wheel lip is tight so you can get a good plug weld.
