Title: Which rear wheelhouse repair panel do I need for a '67 bug? Post by: Sam K on February 28, 2009, 02:55:07 am My bug has developed a tiny bit of rust where the body mounts to the chassis in the rear whel wells (the "u" shaped bracket area). Naturally, I can only find repair panel for '66 and earlier or '68 and later. I'm not going to get rid of my z-bar so I'm leaning towrad the '68 and later panels but I'm not sure what the difference is. Has anyone else run into this problem?

On the drivers side, the '66 and earlier panle was closest to the '67 piece, but I had to section in the mounting area for the Z-bar. On the passengers side, the '68 and newer panel was the closest, but I had to replace the bracket that attaches to the chassis with the original one from the car. Now I just have to finish welding them in, seam seal it, prime, paint and I'm ready to roll.
