Mike,

Where did you get your patch panels and what was your experience with them?

Thanks!

I bought mine from Hot Rod's in Ohio. The front panels fit better, so far, than the rear corner pathches (those were atrocious). The 90 degree bends at the corners weren't as crisp as I would have liked, so I just kept as much of the original corner at the door as I could. I couldn't figure out a way to make these bends sharper with the tools that I had. As far as attaching the fender bolts, there will be an opening underneath the cab to get to these I think. I am just going to wait to patch that area (underneath inside of cowl area if that makes sense) until I get the fenders mounted and get a captive nut or fastener welded in place.

Mike
