I need patch panels for the lower front fenders on my 67 and can't find any..:confused: I thought these were available, but maybe not for a Camaro. I have 1 for my Chevelle so I assumed I could get them for this too.

Also, I need a patch for the left rear wheel opening and all I find are front and rear patches and a center one. Is there a patch for the entire wheel opening in one piece anywhere ??

I believe the front and rear patches are the only ones...

You might be ahead by grabbing an 80% quarter,or even a skin for even less. By the time you bought front and rear patches, you almost could have bought the skin. The only downside would be the shipping. (truck)

I was looking at that too, Bob. If the front and rear patches won't replace the rust, I will go with the 80% and cut what I need.

Any insight into the front fender patches ??

Yes, the rear lower fender patches are available. About $80 per side.

:cool:
I'm going to be learning to use a mig this winter and if I get good, I'll be in touch about the panels. I have a trunk pan to weld in and practice on first. Then I can move on to parts that will show.....;)

Thanks, but no, I was looking for a piece that would contain the entire wheel opening about 4 inches wide. The rust/dent/old bondo that I have behind the wheel extends up above where a patch panel goes........:mad:
Goodmark does have a piece that ties into the front and rear patches, but then I have to get three pieces to line up........:sad:

Gotcha - Thought you needed to patch the front and rear fenders - That was just for the front....:clonk:

Duh......I thought it looked familiar.....yes, that is for the FRONT fender. I need them for both sides and a wheel opening for the left REAR. I was confused.

I got a set from National Parts Depot. They fit ok but the bottom is flat where the original is recessed. With some hammer and dolly work it comes out pretty close and since you can't see it without bending over you may be ok with the final picture.
