68 back fiberglass replacement?

[Bryan Meyers]

This may be a little extreme but here goes. I have another car for parts, can I replace everything, fiberglass wise, from the doors back? The back of mine is flared and it was backed into a firehydrant and has a 12" crack along the top seam above the tail light in the center.

Thanks, Bryan

If by seam you mean at the bonding seam...

replace the rear quarters re-bond the TL panel and your home free.

Re: If by seam you mean at the bonding seam...

What is a TL panel? Maybe seam was the wrong word? When the back goes up and changes direction and heads toward the back window, about an inch in from the back is where it is cracked.

TailLight. The crack is not on a bonding seam...

and would require repair. With the 1/4's and the lower valance removed, you should have adequate access to repair both sides for strength if you wish.

The answer to your original question is, Yes you can replace the whole deal and it should be fairly easy. But if you want a totally undetectable repair it would be dificult to achieve that.
