It's very hard to make decisions like this without parts on
hand. There have at times been panels available but I don't know if they
are anymore. You probably need to find a donor car unless someone contacts
you about them. You can try putting a Want Ad on Sunbeam Forum sites.
Check the internet, check with Classic Sunbeam, I see panels there but not
sure if full panels or patch panels. Talk to your body man first for
suggestions - he may be able to repair some of the panels
I'm in the " I like stock look category" but this is your
car - make it the way you want.
I do suggest that you re-enforce the rear spring perches - even the stock
260 engine will eventually stress crack them - more HP will make it happen
sooner. Tom Hall has a kit that gets welded on.

The tiger has been sandblasted. The undercoating on my car was going to be
impossible to remove without a ton of time and making a horrible mess of the
garage, driveway and myself. So I had it sandblasted inside and out, 100%.
In hindsight the sand removal and clean up was significant and I should have
skipped the interior sand blast and masked off all the interior holes as I
spent a good bit of time getting sand out. The blaster uses gorilla tape to
protect the vin tags. I am really happy that its all done. I epoxy
Primered the car and parts over the weekend to prevent rust from taking
hold.
Next step is to put the Front and Rear end on the car so it rolls and then
take it to the frame shop to fix the passenger front rail. Will let him
tell me if I need a replacement or if he can bend it back. Or the 3rd
possibility that the prior repair and alignment is OK, but I don't think
that's the case.
The sand blast did uncover significant amounts of bondo. I think the car
was crashed, motor removed and body work completed but then never had the
motor returned. It was then sold to Steve W, and I bought it in 95. The
problem is the driver rear fender is in very bad shape, the door is fine
(probably replaced) and the front fender minor damage. I'm at a cross road
as the car has flares (best image of the flares

seek out a donor fender for the rear and transfer the flare? Do I put a
stock fender on and then remove the flares from the other 3 piecing in new
arches? Anyone have a driver rear fenders for sale plus 3 arches? Anyone
have the same style of steel rear flare tucked away in the garage?
