Yah the quarters were cheap but not the fenders so were going to fix up some crappy old ones for spares.
for what it's worth, the Five Star metric body panels are pretty affordable. Not "found a $200 parts car" affordable, but for new body panels, they're quite good.
The problem is that Nova and Camaro bodies are becoming scarce. Up north it's actually kind of hard to find Street Stock/Super Stock classes that have a Nova in them, and very few Camaros--almost entirely Metric cars, because they're still slightly more common.
What we started doing the last couple of years at North Bay (not that that's saying much) is allow the use of late model body panels on "similar" old cars. So we started having the Camaro guys cut the car away and replace most of it with body panels from 3rd gen f-bodies (82-92), and Metric guys cut away the front end and most of the rear, and replaced them with fenders/bumper covers/noses from Luminas and Monte Carlos (89-98ish).
When done RIGHT (most were, some were not) the cars looked basically like slightly stretched/more square versions of the 1990s cars.
And god knows there's a ton of Luminas and FWD Monte Carlos in junkyards.
Flamboror is making high performance axles mandatory...at least on the right rear. That's a positive step in the right direction. Kudos to Flamboro Managment for a brilliant decision

Great idea for sure,Mark Dilley at Sunset Speedway was the first to make both axles mandatory,all tracks need to follow suit or allow the 9" differential.
Mark has also made steel plating on the drivers door bars mandatory. 😮
