    It depends on if you want quarters with a weld seam and filler or if you want quarters attached at the factory locations  :dunno:

    Where are you located ?Shipping in and out of Canada would be a killer, why not just buy a set from Ken ?


    Yeah, located in Sweden, but I ship parts to WA, then they go by container overseas. I'll check with Ken.
    Might be someone that can do it here also. I wanna avoid seams if I can and if I can afford it.

    Hopefully the ones you have coming fit okay on your project Alan, my drivers side was curved wrong around the top and the chrome trim wouldn't even fit.

    Next time I do a ragtop E body I will convert the hardtop quarters myself…… any good metal guy can do a quality job

    Don't even go there.....I tried to explain that to the car's owner, but he was insistent on Ken's quarters and I think ordered them before consulting with me. My guy would have step- flanged them to fit THIS car....

    I put PIMTAO to work scrapping off the factory undercoat so the media blaster doesn't have to. Tim took time out of re-assembling his own car to do the crappiest part of the resto for me :worshippy
