Do you think that the rear end can be fixed or do you spend the rest of your life trying to find those Brougham Quarters?

I've seen much worse damage than that put back to 100%.  However,
some fabrication would likely be required and that takes mucho $$$.

Like anything in our hobby, if you have deep enough pockets and find
the right resto shop, it can be done.

I once saw a '56 Eldo (with rare original AC) that was in such poor shape
that it actually broke into two pieces (frame and all from rust) when it was
loaded on a flatbed.  It's now a 100 point car.

should be able to repair that based on the pictures

one thing about metal, when it gets bent,it can almost always be worked back into shape, although that takes someone that knows what they are doing and most times takes a while to get it right ,and if yu have to pay someone that gets a bit spendy

probably be a great buy for a body shop guy
