you could call ford and ask them if they swap. Take lots of tools with you when you pull it they dont bolt on it is a welded part a good sawzall and a half dozen blades should help also

Did a quick search on Ebay and found 1995 quarter panels as cheap as 100 bucks. Calling Ford sounds reasonable as to your fitment question. It wont be worth the time and effort to try and cut them off a junked car.

If he cant find a OEM one and needs more then they offer on Ebay then it will be worth all the time in the world to cut one off.

Yea sure. The majority of people will just f%*K them up trying to cut them off. Not even going to get into trying to put it back on corectly.

lol it is not rocket science if he has half a clue and takes his time it is not that hard I have done a few in my days I do it for a living. Most yards will cut them off for the customer any way they cut more then you need then trim what you want. I have seen some people do it and look just like it was done at the shop. My be not him and maybe not you but I have seen it done. Its not anything more then some spot welds and glue and seam sealer.

Dude im not argueing but you know as well as I do for every one guy that turns a wrench or owns a tig welder there's 500 dudes that cant change their own oil. Just saying theres a huge difference between seeing someone do it and doing it yourself.
