I'm thinking you're only left with what's leftover from old cars. I.E. go to the junkyard or check on ebay, sometimes used ones come up.

I asked a body shop and they told me they have a supplier in the US who still make it.
He is also asking me 300$CAN a piece if i want em...

And obviously, he didnt want to tell me which one.... :(

Wow, that's a surprise. I really didn't think there were any places still making them new. If you find out anything more, let us know.

Not too long ago I had checked with a local ford dealer, and they were still able to order them for my 87 sport.......at $700 each. :flame:

Sorry if i look dumb but i need to ask....
Is it called a Quarter Panel in english? or is it something else....

What I need exactly is a panel going from around the rear wheels and below the windows.(approx. 2½'x3' molded metal sheet to cut and remove the old and rusty part....) I do not want 2 half of a rear of a car...

Yep, it's called a quarter panel. Your English is fine. As a matter of fact I never even knew that it wasn't your native language until you mentioned it. You speak/type it better than some people who were born here!

I was always under the assumption that nobody made quarter panels for these cars. You can buy fenders, hoods, grilles, header panels, door bottoms and glass, but no quarter panels. If somebody ever found a place that did it'd be quite newsworthy

I have a cougar just like yours that I bought for parts. You could have the quarters if you want them, it would only cost you shipping and whatever it costs to have someone cut them out. I’d do it for you but I don’t have the knowledge or the equipment. It’s a Texas car so there isn’t any rust.

I’m not sure what shipping would be from Texas? Does Greyhound service your area? If it cost $200 to ship and $100 to have them cut (I’m just guessing since I have no idea) you might still be better off?

Maybe not your best option but I did want to offer them.
