I'm going to see if anyone can help. I am looking for an upper rear corner of the driver side quarter panel. Anyone who has replaced their panel and still has the old one that this can be cut out of would be great. Trying to finish up my Cuda and any help is appreciated. The part I need is part of the outer quarter panel. It's where the back of the hockey stick body line and the faint horizontal line meet. The attached pic with yellow square is the area that is damaged.

How is yours damaged? I ask because my 71 Barracuda was squished flat even with the tail light panel when I got it and I fabricated a piece of angle iron, drilled a hole in the ridge and installed a 1/4" bolt. drilled one 1/4" hole in the quarter panel and using the angle iron on the inside and a sliding hammer on the outside, I carefully pulled the whole smashed dent out! It wanted to be back to normal as all the metal went back into place.
 
There was damage to that area and the 'body man' seemed to grind down the area so that the metal is paper thin and smeared filler to make it look like it should. As it is so thin, trying to straighten it will tear it and not be able to be re-formed to the proper profile. I am hoping someone has a quarter they replaced where that area could be cut off so it could be patched in.

that corner may be hard to find. It is one of those vulnerable areas common to damage, and almost always replaced when surrounding sheet metel is worked.
