Body Panels

[Jimmy240Z]

Well I am moving along with the floorpans and am almost finished with the passenger side. Now I need some help sourcing some exterior body panels. I need to fix the rocker panels, bottom of the door, the dogleg, and the rear quarter panel. Looking for a good source for these parts.

Search rust repair.

^^Second. Also try replacing panels with Tabco replacements. Google Tabco.

Also you can find replacement parts and rust abatement kits with the vendors.

I bought all my panels from msa. Ive got no complaints with them at all. I bought floor pans, rear hatch panel, and lower door panel.

Rear hatch panel, I can not find this on their site? How long ago did you purchase this part?

I bought my floors,rockers and doglegs from Tabco also. Hope to have them installed this year. They are not flimsy reproductions. High Quality in my opinion.

Tabco panels are not flimsy, there are "rough" in detail, they require more work than just welding them on, i.e. bending, hammer and doly, and cutting only what you need to use.

Which is better in quality and fitment? Tabco or MSA?

I am currently amassing all of my replacement body panels ( lower doors, dog legs, rear hatch body panel) before I start on my project and have been wondering who offers the best quality replacement panels? Best quality defined as - closest to original in fitment, and lending concourse quality results.

Better to buy directly from the manufacturer and save some money since MSA buys from Tabco & Zedd Findings:

True, but I had to order my hatch shelf from MSA.

I've got two unused tabco front fender patch panels I'll sell if you are still looking. Brand new.
