Model A sheetmetal

Where should I buy patch panels from ? Ebay patch panels look like some of the body lines where made in a vise or are they good ? Macs ? I do not want junk even though im building one .

 

Macs is excellent. Howells here is good too although I've heard of people having problems with shipping timeframes and such. Snyder's stuff has been pretty good. I suspect alot of it comes from the same place though...

 

Haven't bought any thing from them but doesn't look to bad to me.

This is Howell's Sheet Metal, I would imagine that they make most of the stuff that is being sold.

 

I vote for Howell's (www.fordor.com) I've used them on several cars.

 

Contact Brookville and get what you need, There stuff is great looking and made right. I purchased 2 Roadster bodys and never had a problem. They make all kinds of panels for A,s

 

Sometimes a supplier-like Mac's-will have your items in stock while the manufacturer (Howell's) doesn't since they haven't done a run of those parts for a while.

Sine these are often expensive items to ship,find a supplier near you-Mac's in the Northeast, Sacramento in the west,etc. Also check the show schedules. Mac's, for instance, will bring your parts to a show for pickup free of shipping. I saved about enough on my A bumper to upgrade from chrome to stainless. And you Do Not want chrome.

 

Bought all new sheet metal from brookville,very nice!

 

brookville worked really well for me...the only one that didnt really fit well was the rear corner.

 

mother****in Brookville is the way to go
