Yeah, there was a "prototype" '72 quarter panel displayed at Carlisle. It looked GOOD! Finally!
They will be available soon. Hope they FIT as good as it looked!

FWIW, the one at Carlisle was the RH, and their pic is of the LH... so at least ONE pair exists.

Yep, now the trick is to get those two to mate and produce LOTS of offspring!
BTW, the word was that the '71 quarters were out being "test fitted", so they weren't at the show.

Someone should tell YearOne about it. They told me there wasn't enough demand for them to warrant the tooling expenditure. Not enough demand huh? What a bunch of wusses.
Wonder if this company will ever get around to the 73/74 body panels. Probably not, I'm guessing.

I looked over the 72 sample they had at Carlisle. Overall it did look pretty good. The body line wasn't as "sharp" as I would have liked, but it was completely workable. The tough area at the top corners of the wheel opening were very good (and quite hot in black primer on a hot sunny day..lol).
If the test fit goes well, I think we may FINALLY have a solution. Their price sheet showed them at $700/side, which really isn't that bad considering what it takes to find and install a used set.

Most likely... I'm betting you'll see more than ONE at the Nats.

Auto Body Specialties has an ad in Mopar Muscle Feb 09 issue I got last week.
3 pages in from the back cover. Green banner on top.
I ckecked their web site and they list them for $679 a side.
$1358 a pair sounds decent to me.
For 71 and 72's
AMD has them listed on their site for $749 each side. $1498
The Ebay was $1350 a pair.
I bet they all come from the same stamping plant.
