Fiberglass Quarters
How do fiberglass quarter panels attach to a car? You can't exactly weld them on like a sheet metal quarter.

The only fiberglass quarters I have seen are parts of "wide body" kits. They are glued on (on top of the metal) and fiberglassed over the seams, sanded and then painted. Other than that fiberglass quarters can only be attached to a fiberglass shell i.e. Professional Drag Cars where the entire body is fiberglass sitting on a tubular frame. Then it would be a matter of fiberglassing fiberglass to fiberglass. You CAN NOT replace you metal quarters with fiberglass replacements.

They sell them for 67-68 Camaros, it appears they rivet them on and then use bondo to smooth it all out. It seems as though you can use these to replace your metal quarters.
