I guess I should know this already, after having purchased by first ABoty in 1973 (1965 Valiant four-door) but I don't. What body panels are available in the aftermarket these days? For example quarter panel, door skins, front fenders, cowl, floor and trunk pans. Or is it up to the fabricators to make due with used parts? Thank you.

P.S. The reason I ask is because a potential buyer dropped by for the first time to look at the vehicle I listed on ebay and marketplace and he wanted to know.
 
Well, that was disappointing, the ABS website does not even show the Valiant line on the list (except for Duster).

Laysons has lower quarter panel repair patches and lower fender repair panels. I used both on my Dart wagon with very good results. I used Auto Biody Specialties floor panels as well and they fit quite nicely with minor trimming
 
We put a 67-76 floor in to our 65'. It took some work, but you do what you gotta do.

Could be this person already knows this and will use it to try and drive the price down. Food for thought.
 
They are showing a set of 4 floor pans for $695. They night be available individually
