Default patch panels

My 30 coupe will need patchwork at the usual locations prone to rust as well as sub rails for the rear of the car. I have read numerous comments about patch panels not fitting correctly and am wondering if some are better than others. I have not seen many comments on reproduction sub rails. Which vendor or manufacturer would supply panels and subframe parts that would give the best fit or are they all they all basically the same? I would very much appreciate any experiences or advice you could share.

Bill Stipe, Plymouth, WI makes, by far, the best '30-'31 cowl panel available.

Most sill/subrails are coming from Antique Auto Sheetmetal, ...and remember that their intent is to be a patch that you can re-work to use. Therefore it really boils down to your capabilities and the desired quality.
