Help!! I have looked everywere for good parts!

I have been desperatly looking for doors, trunk and quarter panels for my '85 kitty, and seemed to have exhausted my efforts. Does anyone know where in the world I could find anything of the such?

Ebay occasionally has some stuff, but it's usually expensive to ship, so you'd better hope it's nearby stuff.  Other than that I haven't seen any new sheet metal.  Even if it is new sheet metal, it's probably Taiwan stuff that doesn't fit worth anything.

You would probably be better off buying a parts car.You may be able to find one cheaper than just the parts.I bought a Lincoln Mark VII which ran great,but has a wrecked interior for $400.Much cheaper than I could get the drivetrain alone,which is what I wanted in the first place.Look around for a barely running,or non running car.You may be surprised.Good luck.

Tried that....none in my part of the country....I am in New Brunswick Canada.......good thought!.....like I said I am getting restless.... I have a supercharger that I have installed a couple yrs ago, and am loving my 12.7's run's in the 1/4.......but the bondo(body fill) has got to go!

Depending on how much you want to spend you can go fiberglass.

You can get new fenders and a tunk at your local napa.
As for 1/4 pacnels your out of luck,they are not replaced in the aftermarket,so metalwork and bondo are in your future.
