Nobody in the States makes any kind of panel for the 60 Val but a company in Australia called Rare Spares makes lower rear patch panels.
It seems that Australia embrced the 60-62 Vals more than we did,which is a shame cause theyre great little cars with unique styling that had much more character than the compacts from Ford or GM in my opinion.
But maybe In biased becuase I own a 60 and 61.

If you can do the repair yourself it might be easier/cheaper to make your own. Most panels are hand-made for the Valients and Darts, I guess the lack the prestige of other cars for some reason....

anyway, if your panel is rusted you might have more than just the outer skin to replace, the metal going into the trunk might also be damaged so you may have a need to replace the backing too, just wanted to warn you of that because when I replaced my quarter panels skin I found the back metal was rusted enough for me to poke through :shock: .
