Try Howell's sheet metal in Texas. Thats who I used. They aren't perfect, but are as good as any I have seen so far.

It seems the degree of satisfaction with different suppliers varies greatly. I have used Howell panels in the past and have been very happy with them. In restoring the doors on my '32 pickup Howell was the only one I could find that offered lower door skins that went clear up to the reveal. My doors had been previously patched with short 6" patches and was done rather shoddily. These tall panels saved the day and the doors.

I have heard varying stories on products and service from Howell but I could find no fault with them.

A friend of mine bought a '29 cowl panel from them several years ago. He told me it was a very good piece and installed like original.

I got mine from this place. Not perfect but they are tall enough to repair the whole bottom section of the corner so they don't look bad installed. The plus is they were in stock when i ordered them and i received them in about a weeks time.
