Looking for patch panels for this

It's my 39 Pontiac, I thing Chevy is the same for this part. Its the rear fender mounting lip here's a pick, I need the missing pieces both sides.Thanks for any help.

 

instead of paying for poor fitting panels, I usually make my own poor fitting panels

 

Yeah I like to do my own too but this is a compound curve and I think it might be just out of reach for my capabilities. If I can get a poor fitting panel, I'll have something to work with that I can m***age it to fit.

 

Btt Anyone Help!

 

Hey,

That should be a very easy panel to build with a bead/swaging machine!
If a shop can't help you out, try making a hammerform ,from plywood, and
using that as a form to build the part.

I hear that If it doesnt fit like you want hit it some more

 

What is this bead/swaging machine you speak of, I have never heard of this before. I have a bead roller, a set of slip rolls and a press brake.

 

shrinker and stretcher is what you need.. Jason

 

Hey,
The "bead/swaging'' machine is nothing more than a beader,beading machine, bead roller. Swaging Machine is what the machine is called in the U.K. & OZ, perhaps other countries as well.
If you don't have a lathe to make custom beading dies, try using a drill press and a file. This makes a very low-tech die, but it does work, in a pinch! A hole saw, used in hard plastic, or very hard wood, works for a very low tech die, but for a one time, one shot deal, in thin sheet, will work.
I'd trace the quarter panel flange shape onto a piece or thin cardboard, cut the cardboard out and trace the shape onto a piece of 3/4 plywood or MDF. Use a router with a bit that most closely matches the shape of the quarter panels' shape Cut out some sheetmetal, say 19-20 gage, to match
the patch and sandwich it between another piece of plywood. Carefully form the metal with a calcking tool, around the shaped ply/MDF, and if you work carefully, will have a good looking part, to weld into your quarter.

That area should be the same as a Chevrolet, they use the same body. I'd be surprised if no one makes a panel, if no one else has it I'm pretty sure EMS does.

 

I'm in the process of rebuilding the rear 1/4/-fender lip on my carryall. I was able to fabricate what I needed at Wray Schelins in Sturbridge Ma. He gives cl***es. That might be the way to go If you strike out finding a donor or panel.

for the beaded part, you could try using a piece of thin wall tubing...

 

Wow that cl*** looks like it kicks ***! And it's not all that far from me. Can you say I want that for xmas?

 

It does and the guy goes for like 16-20 hrs - no ****

If your going, you should talk to him, describe what you want to do, send lots of pictures to him so when you get there you have the info in hand. Better yet bring your ride with you.

There not hard to make I just made mine for my 39 Pontiac.

Do you have access to a shrinker stretcher?

 

Check out the EMS website. They have photos of their parts posted so you can see if the part looks close enough to work.
