Cab corners

Hello all. Since the online vendors are out of stock and it looking like the guy with the broken die isn't going to repair it, I'm needing some decent cab corners. Any help or leads would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, James

Let me know if you ever decide to cut them out and sell them. I'll ******'em up quick if they are in decent shape.

Hone up your sheet metal skills and make your own. Start watching youtube videos and you find guys who use few tools or home made and not some high end sheet metal shop.

I was considering this exact thing or seeing how close the ones on my 64 are and possibly using part of them and modify to fit so to speak rather than start from scratch.

I would like to know how close they are, I have been checking all the vendors constantly watching for some to come available.. I have been buying panels, but need the corners..

It's always easiest to start with something close. I've never bought a patch panel, just find something close on a donor and work it to fit. It really isn't difficult and can be done with no special tools.

I found a site that showed still having them, I ordered them tonight, so let's see if the show in about a week or so. $69.95 each + about $20 shipping. If it works out I will post pics of proof..lol
