REAR FENDER Patch Panels?
I fear that my fab abilities are not up to where I need them. Does anyone know of a source for REAR fender front patch panels (where they mate to the running boards)? I have called Dennis Carpenter, Midwestearlyfords, Macautoparts, AMD, and LMC with no luck. Spoke with Midfifty yesterday and they say that they "will be available soon". I'd appreciate any leads. Thanks!!!

Direct Sheetmetal will fabricate them for you. If you have a sample of what you need I would be happy to take it over to Dave and get an estimate on cost.

They are easy to make, I made and welded mine back years ago when I didn't know crap. If I could do it you can do it. Now I would say it probably the easiest fix on body panel.

Reamer makes other patch panels. Maybe he can make some.

Doug, read Ax’s thread. Same principles apply to most areas you will run into. I did mine and am a novice to say the least.
