Default restoration body parts

Is there any companies that make replacement body parts like rear 1/4s and the rear valance? Also where is a good place to get a fuel tank?

www.re-speed.com is starting to build gas tanks. Still in the design phase, but should be available very soon. There is a big thread on it somewhere on the internet.

As mentioned, Black Dragon has a lot of stuff. Try any local junkyards for parts. I would just find a decent parts car and get the whole thing. Cut what you need out of it and pull all the parts.

Try Stephen Brooks in the UK - great prices (tho there is shipping to consider). I bought a pair a lower rear 1/4 panels for about $90 from him a few years back. Great quality, great support.

He also sells the FORWARD lower rear Q panel (ie in FRONT of rear wheel) as well as the fender top arch too...

i know i'm not the only one who was hoarding parts

i just checked, the panel between the headlights is NLA, but front fenders list for $150 each, and they have plenty of each
