Front fender patch panels
« on: May 26, 2022, 10:34:50 AM »
Maybe I’m just not looking in the right place?!? I am searching for front fender patch panels- I’ve searched for a couple of hours on line. The usual vendors like fbody warehouse, classic industries, Eastwood, good mark etc don’t even list a patch panel for a second gen  firebird. I only found one vendor that offered a panel ( can’t remember the name) and they won’t have anything available until middle of June. I’m also looking for a repair / partial fender brace. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks!!!

Thanks Wheels78ta! Looks like they have the patch panel but not the bracket. Thinking I may have to fabricate the bracket. Thanks again!

Is this the fender brace you are asking about?

If so, I just repaired mine.  Had to replace a 4"x 6" section.
