Looks like they were trying to retain the 1970-only square impression in the jamb under the door striker by attaching a re-pop quarter shell TO it. You need a person who knows their way around a TIG welder to attempt something like that. Not a good look.

re-pops and even NOS look like this:

That’s what I was thinking as well! My body guy knows what a nut I am, and hammer and dollied the AMD quarters to the original square indent! I slept well that night!

Not sure I buy that explanation since the passenger side has the later "banana" indent and the car is way too early for that to be original. In other words, why save one square indent and not the other? Not sure why the passenger side would receive a full quarter and the driver side just a skin...and a poorly installed one at that!

If it is truly a banana indent pass. quarter then it is just lazy/short-cut taking, on the driver's side. Figures. If you cared enough to save the proper indent in the door jamb, you would care enough to install the quarter without those ugly welds. Such a beautiful car, too bad.
