Howdy all.  I'm looking for some patch panels to replace the rusted portions of my rear wheel houses and rear fender wheel lips.  If you have some donor panels that could help me out, please email me or reply to this thread. 

Thanks.

When I was doing my 62, I searched for repair panels....Apparently, they were not available for Canadian Pontiacs earlier than 63.............That was in 1991....may be different now, but I doubt it. I ended up patching together my own.

Perhaps repair panels for the same American body would be available. Check Ebay in the "Stores" section. I had good luck finding obsolete repair panes for a 54 Chevy on there.. Todd

As far as I know, that's still the case.  No aftermarket patch panels are available for this era of Canadian Pontiac.  I was hoping to hear from anybody who had a parts car with usable panels on it that they might cut out for me.

I did find one guy in the US that had some old aftermarket panels for the US bodies, but it was an enitre quarter panel, and would have been very spendy for what I need.  I may end up just piecing together my own by hand the old fashioned way.

I guess this is one of the hidden benefits of starting with a rough car... you can spend hundreds of dollars and countless hours reparing a fender to full factory specs, or you can spend the same hundreds of dollars and the same countless hours and go full custom without feeling guilty about screwing up perfectly good factory metal!

Yeah...Good point...........and mine was purdy ruff............
