I am planning on buying patch panels for the front fenders on my '60 Chevy. My question is whether there is any difference in fit between the various retail vendors. Do they all get the sheetmetal from the same source? If so then the least expensive should be the best. Any experience? Thanks!

It's been my experience that none of them fit. They are nothing more than a starting point. They all take a bunch of handywork to get them to fit.

Often the gauge of metal used in the patch panels is thinner than the original.
