Initial Z Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Hey guys I'm in need of a replacement drivers side rear quarter panel for my 73 240, my question is are the panels on a 260 or 280 the same? Or do I need to get the panels of a 240? Also what could I expect to pay for a good quarter panel? Thanks, Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Initial Z Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 So, did I just ask a really dumb question? Is that why out of the thirty people that have viewed this thread as of now, no one has replied? Or do you guys really not know? Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to be an jerk about it I just thought it was strange that I haven't gotten a response yet.

mario_82_ZXT Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I know 240z panels are different then 280z ones. I *think* early 260z ones should work. Does the whole thing have to be replaced? If not I know Tabco and a few other places sell replacement parts (as well as probably the whole thing).

Mario Thanks, that helps, I was looking at an e-bay auction for a 280 RQP that's in my area, but now I guess I wont be pursuing that. As for how much needs to be replaced, I need; the area from the front bottom section of the fender arch to the bottom rear corner of the door opening, the arch of the fender about 4-5" in, and all the way around, and at the back of the fender where it starts to rap around the bottom corner of the car, and up front that where it raps around to meet the tail light. So, basically the hole thing. but i did just check out the Tabco and it looks like they might have what i need. as far as searching the junk yards is it very likely that i would find something or is my best bet going to be to look for a privet seller? yes i know this is a very general question but I'm just trying to get a feel for where would be the bets use of my time in searching for the panel. Once again thanks, Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop N Wood Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Maybe the people viewing the thread are just like me and only opened it to see if someone listed a good source for body panels. I just need the doglegs myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
