Fine work you are doing there! I just bought a '29, so it is nice to see the whole subrail structure so I know what i'll be digging into. Is that seat pan from Mac's?

I was thinking the same thing, you should sell your own line of patch panels. But as was mentioned, those cars from that era varied, and I believe were even stamped by several different manufacturers. Even if you made a perfect patch to fit the car in your shop, there's no guarantee it would fit every Model A out there. As far as the quality of re-pop panels, I have been out to Howell's sheetmetal(they make some of the panels Mac's sells). I got some patches for my Model T. I toured the shop, and asked why I didn't see a huge press for stamping parts. He showed me the cardboard patterns they keep on hand; they use a wheel/bead roller/hammers etc. and make them to order. This is not the only way patches are made(Howell's even sells certain other patches that aren't made by themselves)but I wouldn't be suprised if some other companies do it that way as well.
sorry for the late replys . thank you tugmaster!! thanks chemin !! Richard D i would like to do that but i constantly mess with my panels when they are on the car ! i think people would think they are going to magically fit perfectly with out a little work !!. thanks gremlin! thanks Jo
