Patch Panels and Fender Flares

[z.kelmhd]

I recently fell into a 1969 roadster .. which is really cool cause i was looking to by one anyway. My question was does anyone know where i can find quarter panel patches .. i cant find them anywhere . . i have found front fender patches and rockers but not quarters ... also does anyone have info on bolt on fender flares that fit the roadsters ..

Are 240z flares close to fitting .. or any ideas

the old girl is currently hanging from a ceiling by its bumper brackets and is pretty rusty .. in need for both new front fender and its quarters .. the wheel wells are also pretty rusty but the interior is not bad at all .. got into the car for free so there is alot of room to improve it .. any tips or ideas are welcome

How this all happened is i bought a house from a couple moving to assisted living and they moved everything they wanted and left the rest. i live in a small town and i have known this man all my life and had no idea he had a datsun habit. he has 4 more cars in a building across town (less than a mile) .. so i may have a cheap parts source also.. i know at least 2 of the cars are for parts. Nice Happenstance because before I toured the house to buy it and saw the datsun i was bidding on one on ebay. Funny how life works

(If you really want that pic ill shoot ya a text)

You're probably going to have to find some quarters from a donor. I could be wrong, but I have never seen a complete aftermarket quarter panel for any Datsun.

 

You will probably need to find something like this:

www.sportsimports.ca ross sells tons of patch panels for roadsters...

So do you guys have any advise about fender flares .. im looking to order some. i like the bolt on look but no one makes them for roadsters. I have heard rumors that 510 fender flares fit is there any truth to that?

i have seen those zg flares i was just unclear if they are a universal fit or how that all works .. i assume that not all datsuns have the sames size wheel arches. or does that even matter in this situation

[Eagle_Adam]

im not sure, i dont now much about roadsters

Thats exactly what im going for that first red one with the black hood is awesome thanks for the link

[Eagle_Adam]

NP - hope you get it figured out

the ZG's for the z car wont work on the roadster without some flexing. I had a set, didn't fit right. I have been hunting a company that makes them out of ABS plastic.

Then there's the posting about using VW fenders for roadster flairs. Not my desire or concern, it's on this site, search for yourself, you're a big boy or girl by now, do it yourself.

Yeah, Adam Carolla owns the one that BRE built with those flares.. its a factory lightweight as well.

This roadster is for sale now if anyone is interested 750$

I guess its worth saying that the wheels and tires go with it and a new set of tail lights

what I did for my rusty rear quarters is I found some crappy front fenders, cut the flares off and reversed them left to right and welded them back on the rear so the front and back had the same flare. It turned out really well.
