Default Re: 32 sedan patch panels any good ones made?

Heres the follow up on the patch panels for our sedan project we just received. The panels were purchased from Tom Bay R&J enterprises Arkansas city KS so heres the report. What we received is the exact same worthless panels we already had! Now upon talking with Tom when placing the order he reassured us his panel was not the same old useless over size crap we already had. BUT he LIED its the exact same panel his part number written on the panel QP-32T is the exact same number written on the junk we already had! What a waste of time and money. This crap is WAY oversize SO BIG the section that sits in the door jamb is to LONG and where its needed to go into the door jamb its to DEEP. This junk is so bad you could not even do a hack job of just laying it on top of the remaining body and just welding it on top of the surface the panel is so big it wont work that way even if you wanted to just mud it up after welding { which is not how were doing this project} So now its time to cut and trim these horrible panels removing the oversize material and slowly welding things back together we now have it cut into four pieces what fun. So theres my report on the quality of the Tom Bay panels we received.
