    I am sure this has been covered many times but where is the best place to get patch panels for a T coupe. I have heard too many bad things about Howells in the past to want to deal with them. Also does anyone make door hinges for the Ts?

    I've heard alot of negative reviews on Howell's pieces, also. However, I bit the bullet and purchased two of their bun panels for my '27 roadster. They're not perfect but they actually fit quite well.

    I have used Howells a few times for my 26T Sedan and found them to be very good. I received excellent service on the phone (no responses to email) and their shipping times were excellent. Will definitely use them if needed again.

    Howell's supplies all the patch panels to other companies.... Their panels are close but that's about it! Most of the time, I figured I could have made better fitting panels myself and got a lot closer.

    Best way to buy them is at a swap meet, if not then ebay then you have recourse if you need a refund or they need to be returned.

    Anyone try Shneider's parts in Ohio? They've been doing parts for Model A's and T's for years
