Fellow Sedan'rs.

If you have been through this before, let me here your stories on "Why and Where" to get these parts from.

Thanks.

Who has the best price on Model A Sedan patch Panels? YOU do! Go by a body shop and get a damaged hood or other large panel, go home and cut out the size and shape you need. I figured out a long time ago I can buy poorly made patch panels or I can make my own poorly fitting patch panels http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Actually my homemade parts work very well.

AHotRod, they're all about the same on price. On the east coast www.brattons.com (http://www.brattons.com) 800/255-1929 and www.snydersantiqueauto.com (http://www.snydersantiqueauto.com) 888/262-5712. These restorer places I believe, try to sell better parts.

I looked for the same stuff when I was going to repair the rot on my '30 Tudor (R.I.P.)

I just got sheetmetal and hammered it into shape instead. ALOT cheaper, ALOT more work, but it was a learning experience that sparked my fondness for metal fabrication. Oh yeah...ALOT more pride than buying preformed panels.

But, if you're set on buying, www.fordor.com (http://www.fordor.com) is also another good source. Good luck!

I have always found MAC's to be the least expensive on pretty much everything Model T & A.

i got the lower panels for my 30 pickup from MIKE'S AFORDABLE PARTS. the only problem was when i lined up all 3 panels non of the body lines where close to being the same. save the money on the panels and buy a sheetmetal brake http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif find a local sheetmetal shop near you and check there dumpster for good metal. most chuck out more then any of us need for most jobs.
