  • '53-'61 coupe rear panels

    Please excuse me if someone has posted this source before, though they are touting a "pre-order sale" which makes it sound as though it's new.

    Could be the photo, but it sure looks like there's a heck of a curve in that top edge. (where it bolts up to the body)

      Think that's just the lip where the fender meets the spear.

        Although I have not actually seen one, I am sure it is fine. It's a brand New 2013 Reproduction supposedly copied from a real OEM Fender, I don't think there should be a problem.

          If those are the panels made by Goodmark, I can vouch for the fit. They used a '56 Sky Hawk I had for a trial fit of the pilot panels. They fit like a glove; went on with no filing, adjusting, etc. and looked really great. I'm getting ready to put them on my '53 Commander Starlight.

            Howard, what did they end up doing for the stiffener strip at the front edge - spotweld like a n.o.s. would have ?

              Joe, I don't remember, but I have some pictures. I'll look tomorrow and send you a picture. If I don't have a good picture, I'll take one (since the panels are not installed yet).
