Are the reproduction 64 Malibu rear quarters a direct fit for 64 Beaumont?
Has anyone used them and how was the fit?
Thanks in advance, Ted

yes they are. I have a set here that were left over because the FULL quarters came available after the 3/4 quarters were purchased. so you can either patch, or take it right to the factory lead seam (hard top of course).
the pass side was a little work to make it fit right around the trunk area, but the drivers side fit with no problems at all

So if I'm reading you right some only come up to the top of the quarter ( maybe an inch onto the flat ) others extend into the C pillar ( hdtp, of course ) Were you able to cut the Full set for use on the conv? and did this involve extra fiddling or was it cut and go?
Thanks.

convertible hasn't been done yet, so the quarters I have are the "short" ones for it.. since theres a wrinkle in the body line on the drivers side.. I'm sure whoever gets the car would replace the whole quarter.
the hard top got the full quarters, with trunk lip etc..
so.. yes.. to the description you gave on what they cover..

not sure yet if I'll go as far as to replace the quarters but needed to have the info to help me make my decision - both what's best for the car and financially.
