The 1968-1974 Chevrolet Chevy II / Nova Outer Right Rear Wheelhouse Panel is a premium stamped steel replacement designed to restore the structural integrity of the rear driver-side wheel opening. This panel forms the outer wall of the rear wheel tub, connecting the inner wheelhouse to the quarter panel and trunk floor. Commonly affected by rust and corrosion, the outer wheelhouse is critical for proper body panel alignment and tire clearance. Built to factory specifications, this panel ensures a precise fit and strong foundation for any rear quarter panel restoration or repair.
Installation:
Difficulty: 5/5 – Requires cutting, welding, and precise body panel alignment.
Instructions: Remove the quarter panel or cut access to the existing outer wheelhouse. Cut out the damaged section along original seams. Clean and prep surrounding metal. Test fit the new panel to ensure proper alignment with inner wheelhouse and quarter panel. Weld into place, grind smooth, and finish with seam sealer, primer, and undercoating for corrosion protection.
