2 questions: 1. Did you try Gaslight? I just looked at their 2009 catalog and they are listed. 2. How can you tell a tudor patch panel from a fodor or coupe or roadster? I bought a bunch of Model A sheet metal this weekend. It was mostly used but came with a set of new patch panels but I don't know what they fit - maybe tudor.

Why buy when you can make?

Those panels are not very hard to make. I have done the coupe style by just making a simple wood form and hammering the correct shape.

It helps to have some understanding of metal working concepts. If you go to my website and look up metal working hints you will find the smartflix videos you can rent and learn more.

The patch panels are very different from the coupe to the sedan style bodies. Look at some of the body style books and you should find some pictures that will make it obvious.

Sorry for the hijack of thread!

Hey Kevin, have you decided how much you would like for the pick up truck back sections yet?
