I tried searching the archives for this but was unable to find any threads. If I missed it please post it for me. Thanks.

In the ad it says that it's where the running boards bolt to, I don't need that panel (I already have it) I need the other end of the fender. The back side.
I called them to make sure, and they said they do not have that panel.

I can't be the first to need these? Do others just make something also?

Because at my skill level I can make a patch panel on the side where it bolts to running board but the opposite side of the whole fender is hard. See the patch I couldnot find anywhere so I made one myself http://picasaweb.google.com/ganeshgavara/FenderRepair#5496410357423498338Ganesh | | | | | Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 | Ganesh - good on ya, that's what it takes for much of this old stuff, fab it from scratch
Steve - as Ganesh suggests, folks often find used parts to cut up for patches, with the complex shapes sometimes it's the only alternative - no available patches for a lot of things, Ray is very good for some custom "limited production" pieces, but he's the only one I've ever heard of, and if he hasn't already done that exact piece he needs a good original as a pattern
