It is not reproduced. You would have to fabricate a new gutter or get a good piece off a parts car. ------------- Vince 1972 Ford GTS Sportsroof - Survivor, One Family car GTS.org Admin |

| Chopper used one from a 1976 Holden Torana hatch when he repaired mine…was almost identical but required a small amount of modification…can easily be sourced from Rare Spares in Aussie…. |

Typically, most guys chop donor panels off parts cars. Compton, thanks for the post on this. Always helpful to know. A lot of panels have to be fabricated off other models/brands to make something work. Basic example: trunk floor, use a reproduction panel, something for a 70-72 Chevelle or Oldsmobile Cutlass to make something work. Other times, like wheel houses, I used late 60's mustang outer wheel houses, pie cut to fit the Torino quarter panel wheel opening shape and welded up. Hot rodding mantra: #chopcutweld
