Re: Front of rear wheel well

I don't think there is a specific burb panel, but a couple years ago I emailed GMCPaul about patch panels and he responded with a two page email. Its on the bulletin board next to our computer at home, but I'm not home now. I'll look at it tomorrow and let you know. He had alot of suggestions about how to modify pickup and blazer pieces to make them work in areas like that.

Re: Front of rear wheel well

Here's a direct quote: "Another patch I have used and many other Suburban owners is the Blazer front lower section, it can be used to repair the area directly in front of the rear wheels at the bottom of the rear wheel arch in the front, its longer than needed for the passenger side, and not long enough to reach door on drivers side and will require you to remove the front edge where it would wrap around the door jamb on the Blazer in order to use on drivers side."

Re: Front of rear wheel well

thats what i used for that section. but i didnt really pay attention to the original curve there, and sort of welded it flat lol. so just be sure to pay attention to detail before cutting it out, dont want to make the same mistake i did. im gonna have to go back and make relief cuts not to get it right...
