Best reasonable patch panels?

[Kerry]

I'm chasing the rust on my 59 Suburban. A while back I picked up some cheap outer rocker panels from ebay. The fit is pretty bad but I can make them work. I'm looking for patch panels for the eyebrows and right side, front, upper fender. I've been looking at ordering from Blackcar-llc.com. Anybody use there stuff before?

I've got a donor pickup I'm cutting up for steel to replace the floorboards.

Thanks,
Kerry

Hopefully John Fowlie from Big M Auto will chime in here. He does a lot of top notch panel patching. He owns a salvage yard full of Mopars in California.
I have heard of a place called R-Car...they were producing floor pans, don't know what else.
You might find some more sources by searching the archives at http://www.forwardlook.net.
(You'll also find a lot of strong opinions on that site!)

On Ebay there is always sales on some of the patch panels that were made in the early 60's. This is the outer or top of the double barrell fender stuff, Rarely do you see the inner part of the headlight pod area. (only once that I ever saw and I should have bought them!)

And here is such an auction running right now!

A few years ago I got some stuff from the Rocker King. I got a dog leg and rocker panels. Google" Rocker King Waukesha, WI". He might have something you need.
