It serves a purpose and it's hidden so who cares if it is not stock. Looks like a good idea to me. Not sure it would get put to good use though if you have to pull the fender to get to it.

That's a good idea. I've been thinkin about how I'm gonna tackle that same issue and I think I'm going to steal your idea. I'll be sealing the panel up with a good sealant though so the overlaps don't catch crap washing down either the inside or outside and start another rust problem.

Wish I could make it to the meet. It would be cool to do a demo on say a cab corner or a fuel filler patch. Maybe I can plan on it next year.

i just went through that the other day mine was filled with leaves that would have been nice. i just took the vent out inside and stuck a shop vac hose up there got them all out. i did drill small hole under each one for water drainage on mine. overall i think thats a good idea but like everyone said prob only get used once or twice when painting. i put one on the inner bottom fender of one of my vettes to be able to change out blower motor easier.

Panel
Great option to have it there, even if used only the one time it gets new primer/paint in an unexcessable spot.
I used the big old flat blade screw driver trick ![]() |

Great idea for sure! As others have said it's a hiding op...so no one should be able to complain about it being non-stock. Looks Great! Keep up the great Work Ebfabman!
