The current patch panels that are available through the vendors ( APD, Kennedy etc.) are good but the wheel opening and other bends are more rounded than the original body parts. A little extra dolly work can fix that and match what the original panels were....

Chuck is correct. they claim that the MORE ROUNDED result is from taking the repro mold stamp off of a existing panel
But over all the Repro's are very good material and fit is good as well

They don't look right unless you get rid of that "roundness"

Check with JavJav here, look in the For Sale section. Seems Dave had several original 68/69 AMX rear quarter patch panels available. And they are NOT the poor fitting repros.
