hey moggey01, all the patch metal parts came from gmc pauls . my fab guy said everything fit pretty well except the rockers . and he had to modify them pretty much to work . but i guess that may be the norm i don't know . all the parts were around $800.00 shipped . and labor was $1000.00 and that was supposed to be discounted . still lots $ money to me and now Ive got to repair my doors with patch panels now or get different ones:waah: thanks for looking..

Re: hotrod-c10
 

cleaned up the passenger fender ,took about 4 hours still need to do the back side think ill have it blasted

Re: hotrod-c10
 

Nice work and looking great!!

Re: hotrod-c10
 

that is a pretty good price, I am having the same exact work done and the cost is higher. I am with you, I am tired of fabbing everything and sometimes you just got to write the check. I left it to the pro. good luck on the rest of the project.

Re: hotrod-c10
 

looks great !

Re: hotrod-c10
 

well started cleaning driver fender and turns out my so called mint fenders i bought arent any better than the rust buckets i had . the rust didnt show up until i started strippin the paint off . i tried to sell these awhile back, glad the guy passed on them he wouldve been upset . wished i had passed aswell oh well, i hate rust.
