<VV> Needed: NOS Drivers side rear 1/4 panel for a late modelcoupe or co...

[hank kaczmarek]

The problem is obvious.
On all Corvair  cars except the 60 model, the battery is on the drivers side 
of the vehicle. It's also on the drivers side in the FC's.
The venting of those old "Tar Top" Batteries allowed excess electrolyte/acid 
to drip down onto the bottom of the quarter.
This area is a problem on virtually every Corvair car, as well as on my 64 
Corvan.  There was not battery box left on the Van.
The Eastern "Ultra Monza" needed a patch panel, We had to fabricate a new 
battery tray as well as the whole bottom of the drivers quarter on the van.
My 62 Rampy's L rear quarter is OK, but the battery tray fell into the 
quarter from corrosion.

I've been wrong before.  But I would find it HIGHLY unlikely that anyone has 
a NOS rear quarter for a car that has been out of production for 44 years.
Any body shop worth its salt, or anyone with better than average welding 
skills can install a patch panel and it will appear as new to all but the 
most experienced eye.

If anyone actually does have one, that would be one HIGH DOLLAR piece.

Hank
