Default Lower Quarter Panel Profiles

Would someone please help out and send or post some pictures of the lower quarter panel profiles. The area I'm concerned about is the very bottom edge of the quarter panel. I have attached a few pictures so you can see the angle.

Thanks, Kevin

Hi Kevin.
Here are those areas from my 71.
Note the shape necessary to clear the mufflers is a bit different on each side and appears to have been done by hand??.
Regards,
Alan

4 Left Side





4 Right Side

Alan, Thanks for the pictures. I have two clips and the bottom edges looked to be shaped about the same. It looks like your passengers side is pretty close to mine but I can't really tell about the drivers side.

My Left and Right is shaped different, just wondering if this is factory correct or modified at some point? Not really sure the Right and Left would need to be shaped different?

Alan, does your Left look like mine on the bottom edge?

Thanks again, Kevin

Hi Kevin,
It's difficult to tell how much the fender may have been trimmed.
But certainly this much.
Regards,
Alan
