Interested to know if anyone has used these and shed light on fitment and so on.. Thinking about using these to start the repairs on my rust bucket to turn it into something cleaner.

I can tell you this. I know about these panels, as I work for the company that owns Goodmark. THese panels have been in the market for 20 years plus. The metal is not as good as some of the other repair panels made currently. If you are expecting the quality of some of the newer stuff I released I would not buy it. However, something is better than nothing.

we used similar panels on our circle track car that had metal bodies. They were great for our cars since they are cheap but they would require alot of work to get the panels straight for a street car

Im planning to chop it up to repair the panel thats damaged on my car. Im not going to peel the entire skin off. I had seen patch panels somewhere for the normal problem area's, but cant remember where, and honestly, I think having the entire quarter and using what I need will be easier in the long run. Was thinking about cutting it just below the body crease at the top of the quarter ( about 2 in from the top) and then welding in the new panel. Since my jambs seem to be in fairly decent shape, Im thinking that might be my best route to keep alignment issues to a min. But this is going to be a weekend warrior type street/strip car. Cruise nights and track time basically.

probably found them here, they are new tooling and the newer items I was referring to

Thats possibly where I saw it. The entire quarter may be needed tho due to rust around the wheel wells. But I will def look into both options where possible. I would rather use a vendor, but I do want to keep this body work fairly budget oriented as the drive train will be the bank breaker.
