Does anyone make patch panels for fenders? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm trying to decide which fender to use on my Panel build. I have a perfect driver's side and 5 imperfect passenger sides.

Here they are. The fifth one is on my green '68

On the red and white one, the front corner is gone. Other than that it's great-no major dents or rust.

The gold one has some bondo where a deer ran into it. That's what the original owner I bought it from said, anyway, and it has some rust at the front and rear seams.

The white one is shot. It's the one that came on my Panel, and it has a lot of bondo-maybe 1/4 to 3/8ths inch thick right where the eyebrow goes.

And then there's the re-pop. I'd rather not use it at all on the Panel. Maybe I'll use it on the green '68 someday. The fender that's on it has as much rust and as many dents over all as the gold one.

I've looked through a couple catalogs and they have whole fenders, but not patch panels. I'm thinking I might have to cut the white one up and use the pieces to fix the red and white one. It would be dent and rust free then.

I would replace the cup on the red/white one and use it.

That's exactly what I've decided to do. I might on the patch piece 1971 Custom mentioned, but I'll probably cut it off the white one. All the damage on it is above where I'd make the cut.

Thanks, guys
