Fender patch panels?
« on: January 08, 2007, 10:03:17 PM »
Hey fellas.  Anybody know where I may procure some patch panels for my 79?  Im needing the lower portion just behind the front tire back to the door.  Ive never seen any repros but maybe someone here has.  Thanks.

Have you checked the usual suspects: Ames, Year One, Classic Industeries, NPD, and others??

Yep.  All I found are the 67-69 patch panels.  Probably havent checked every magazine but the ones I have laying around the house are not showing them.

You might have to find a parts car to cut the panels off of, or make your own.

Have you talked with crazy4my10th (David)?  He's cutting up a TA that's in decent shape -- posted down in the "Parts" section.

Looks like part number FC424KL and FC424KR for 70-81 in Ames Performance would fit the bill. Look to be under $60 but the catalog on my PC is a little dated.

**I'm assuming you need the typical repair section which goes from the rear opening on the front fender to where it meets the outer rocker which is what the above part will do. If I'm wrong post a pic of what you need and I'm sure someone will chime in.

I'd imagine Classic Industries, The Paddock, NPD, etc will have these as well.

From my understanding, they may require a little fab to work but you should be fine. I've seen fender patch panels cut from oem fenders on eBay before too.

Krylon, I may have some fenders that I could pull those off. Let me check and I'll get back with you.

Try these guys.  They're located here in NE Ohio.  I've purchased from them in the past and was very happy with their sheet metal.  #21

Hey David! Do you still have those fenders? I'm looking for the area around the extractors with the brackets.

Yes, I have ordered from Mills Supply many times before and am quite happy with what they have.
