Heck, why would I buy a panel like that? Half the fun of working on these old trucks is being able to take your frustrations out on it. I can do that kind of modification in a few minutes and also vent some steam.
It does amaze me at some of the items people will bid for on uPay. Here's another example, a "New radiator pipe kit":
These sold for $55, plus shipping! I can go down to the local home improvement store and buy the same thing for less than $5 apiece. Also, the actual flathead tubes can be bought for around $25-30 a pair.

That's what I love about America. You can spend $2.50 on bullets, have a great time shooting up a piece of steel and try to sell it for $9. Are 12 holes in the piece too many? You really get your money's worth when you buy from that guy. This is a stretch to say this, but I'd rather see real bullet holes in a car rather than those dumb bullet hole stickers. At least there'd be a real story behind the real holes.

Well, maybe if they shot a pattern with my initials in it... 
Actually, I could do better and the ammo wouldn't even cost that much... sheesh!
What's next? ... a busted windshield with a broken elk horn stuck in it?
Hey, Rusty! There's a get-rich-quick opportunity!

As far as the bullet-ridden panels, you can get that "look" for free around here, any night. Just drive down South Coors with a "Lowriders Suck" bumper sticker...

Look in the plumbing and irrigation section when you are at the hardware store. You can get a sweep about like that with hose barbs on either end. I used one for my fuel filler tube.
I love the hardware store

They were basically plugging the virtues of cross country kroozin in hotrods and how much fun it is......and how big name manufacturers and journalists are SO much better at doing it and how they are going to DISPLAY their rods at SEMA with "road rash"
so.......what happens next.....fake patina will be out.......and the big dollar boys will pay someone to take their rod on a road trip to get "real road rash"......while they sit in their armchair and get updates via cell phone
Now that's a bussiness oportunity........"yes Mr Moneybags. No worries Mr Moneybags. So I'll just thrash the crap out of your $100k rod on a gravell road then shall I.......that will be $40 and hour thank you MR Moneybags"......righteo then.
