The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop Patch panel quality

while it is true that anything is better i think that it is worth your time to find the right one for you. i would also not ovelook cutting your patch panels out of an old truck. my friend used all origional chevy steel to patch his 57. he found one that a guy was selling for parts and paid him half price the patch panels to cut them out and use them. he rolled out to the guys house with a catalog and a grinder and cut all the patch panels he needed for less than $100. granted this is not as easy to do and it might take some time to find the correct vehicle, but if you want panels exactly like stock then this is the best place to go.
