Need a left hand side rear arch repair panel for my 72.
I've seen Schofield's and Just Kampers panels at a recent show and to be honest both of them looked pretty poor with large ripples off each top corner of the flared arch????? Almost as if they just were'nt pressed properly? I mean.... how the hell are you supposed to make good of that?
I had no choice but to use a full Brazilian OEM rear quarter for the right hand side due to body damage that went way above the height of a repair panel and although this was a very expensive way of repairing the arch/quarter..... it was good quality and a good fit.
On the left side however I just need to repair the rust and a previous poor repair so couldn't possibly justify the expensive (again!) of a full quarter...... but what is a man to do?
What arches have you all used and found to be best..... or at least, best of the bad bunch?
Surely there is one available without these ripples...... help :roll: ???
