I was wondering if anyone knew a source for these parts ? | | | | | Joined: May 2015 Posts: 11,139 Housekeeping (Moderator) Making a Stovebolt Bed & Paint and Body Shop Forums | | Housekeeping (Moderator) Making a Stovebolt Bed & Paint and Body Shop Forums Joined: May 2015 Posts: 11,139 | Don't know of a patch panel for that. You can buy the whole fender, but possibly not patches. I wound up forming my own patch panel for the rear of my rear fender (AD). I had never done that before, but it came out well.

I just thought there might be a patch panel out there somewhere for reasonable $$$.

Without having to spend too much.
