Posted February 28, 201114 yr comment_347753 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.

February 28, 201114 yr comment_347766 ^^Second. Also try replacing panels with Tabco replacements. Google Tabco.Also you can find replacement parts and rust abatement kits with the vendors.

March 1, 201114 yr comment_347787 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.

March 1, 201114 yr comment_347801 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.

March 1, 201114 yr comment_347823 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.
