The body shop is finally ready for my 55 2door sedan, so I called to get the sheet metal coming only to find out the 55 US hardtop panels are on back order, and have no idea when they will be available. :( So, I'm having my supplier check on the imported 2 door sedan full quarters instead I guess, which may or may not be better, but they are correct for a sedan without mods.

Found L/R USA Sherman HT quarters 150 miles away for $700 ea. Waiting for a shipping quote from my dealer 50 miles away for another pair out of California, if any cheaper. Full steam ahead $$$. Are the vertical trim holes behind the door in the same location between the 2 door HT, and Sedan?

Nope.
Of course not I figured. So much for keeping such a popular, simple car easy. It's no wonder the good ones costs 20 times more than new.

I hear the Sherman quarters are much better then Golden Star but still have issues. Good Luck!
