patch panels
 

Any suggestions for a company producing quality patch panels? I need a floor, cowl, and corner panels.

I'm not the Amazing Kreskin and I didn't stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night, but he has a '51 F1 pickup. Simple, look at previous posts.

Some of those are hard to find. 30 years ago when I restored mine they were nearly impossible as the 48 - 52 trucks were just "old" and not very interesting to folks. I wound up forming my own with body hammers, dollies, 4" and 6"pieces of pipe to make round corners and 17 gauge metal sheets. Heck of a job but they are still in there and I'd bet you couldn't find them. PS. I had no experience in body work before I started. I have now!

Here's a link to EMS automotive. I have purchased firewall, rockers, and front floor pan for my 46 coupe off of them.

LMC has body parts, I have used a lot of their parts in the past, but no idea how they compare to other suppliers in quality.

i bought rear cab corners from ems a couple years ago. they were more $$ than the others, but the pic showed that they had more metal that wrapped into the inner door frame. when they arrived, the actual ones did not have the extra metal, they were just like everyone elses, just more $. i called them about it and they said "oh, we should change that picture." it hasn't changed.
