Technical looking for name address of this repair panel maker.

Hi. I recall getting great 32 ford panels from a shop in Arkansas. Is he still around?

 

I don't know about anyone from Arkansas, but I do know Howell's from Texas ( that Drake sells) is flat on the bottom, just like the Model "A" . Where as the `32 should have a slight curving arc. And that's a darn shame, because the Howell's panel has a nice crisp properly formed cross section on the molding.

 

Thanks. Which panel are you talking about? I need a single lower left front quarter panel patch for a 5 windo. (just behind door). Years ago the fello in lower Kansas was making panels and I needed a below decklid panel and compared to others on the market at the time...his was beautiful hands down! Some out there today are still horrible at the reveal curve.

 

i have used '35-'36 tudor door patches to form a lower reveal with a slight curl to it...
take the section that has the arch you want...
doesn't show that much , but it is there... pic

 

You are thinking of Tom Bay from Ark City Kansas. Excellent parts.

A friend had a terrible experience with Tom Bay. Beware

 

I just had a great experience with Tom Bay a few weeks ago. Nice parts,reasonable prices, friendly attitude, great communication, and fast shipping

 

Got everything I needed from Tom Bay. No problems.

 

Thanks to all. Greaat coupe Sloppy.

 

I am sure that is a rarity. I have dealt with Tom or years and years. Even picking up parts on the way to the HAMB drags.

 

Interesting that some people had good luck with him. I was there for the order and also the pick up. My friend paid up front and got crap.

 

You might checkout United Pacific... They repo a lot of 32 stuff...
