The mods needed would be extensive.

I thought 64-66 1/4 panels were basically the same,the body style change for the Barracuda came in 67??

OK, I apolagize ,I just compred pictures of 66 and 65 Cudas and realized that there is a spear formed at the rear of the 65 panel that flows into the bumper and it is nonexistant on the 66 and the rear bumper is different.
If he just needs the front part or around the wheelhouse it would be doable by sectioning. Actually like Dan says,with modifacations it could work if your metal bending skills and mig welding skills are a little above average.

I think someone is reproducing 66 lower quarters, but of course that won't help the tail light area.

i saw the flip that the bumber does on the 65. i was wondering if i could make it fit..its the only panel i seem to find.

have any idea how much it would be to go to the junkyard and get the 66 panel sawed off?

and who is making the after market panels?
