Title: Just gettin back into early Iron, looking for patch panels
Post by: Ricola on August 30, 2007 10:47 pm

I can fab anything but why. I was checking out some the project progress threads and I see there are some other guys building 28-29 ford roadsters and coupes. Who is supplying patch panels for these cars?

What about a coupe deck lid for a 29 Ford?

Repro or used

I have used Macs, Snyders and Howell Sheetmetal for my projects.  I have purchased cowl panels, rear fender well patches, rear quarter patches behind the door, rear panel below the decklid and bottom door patches and a door skin.  I have not noticed any difference in quality all seem to work fine with minor work, with the exception of the rear quarter patches ( you have to slice and dice them to get them to fit.  I bought a decklid skin from Howell for 110 bucks.  I am awaiting the inner structure from Brookville.
