replacement sheet metal?

I remember seeing a link for replacement sheet metal for our babies, specifically, the rear quarter. I searched but no luck. Anybody got that link handy?
thanks mates

Has anyone used the metal?
I would need the wheel to light section but I need it to include the section of steel to which the bumperslide attaches. (I think thats what its called- the plastic peice that the bumper cover slides into and holds the bumper against the body). 75 bucks is a nice price if it is what I need.
thanks for the link.

Seems like with the amount of wheel well storage bin rust on these cars that this would be a good piece for them to make.

Someone hasn't done their research...

They list the same part for 79-85... We all know that the 79-80 bodywork is different from the 81-85.

Which is it? (Hint: look closely.)

Looks like an fb to me. I'm not sure though, I've only dismantled some things...
Relationships, things that aren't broken, those sorts of things.
