57 pontiac convertible body panels

[Rod]

The lower edge just between the replaceable rocker panel and the rear wheel is bent badly, and I cannot find a replacement panel. Will a Chevrolet one work? If so what year. This convertible has a longer section here than my 4-door donor car.

A Chevy rocker panel is the same, both inner and outer. A 2dr Chevy lower front quarter patch panel probably has the same contour as a Pontiac, but it would be also be shorter than a Star Chief. Take a look at photos in the Danchuk catalog www.danchuk.com and if it looks long enough you might be able to cut the needed section from the patch panel. Good luck,
