Posted December 29, 2024Dec 29 comment_672638 Other than KFVintage, what do y'all think is the best fitting/most accurate dogleg repair panels? KF makes some fantastic panels (some panel more fantastic than others) but I just can't come close to getting them to fit with the KF ones I have. Looking for folks who have install experience with other panels.

December 29, 2024Dec 29 comment_672639 I believe this is the one I used years ago. I didn't find them to be a great fit. https://tabcoparts.com/product/16750/ Why don't you post up some pictures of your fitment issues and see if we can address that? KF has a good reputation for quality parts Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/69200-best-dogleg-repair-panels/#findComment-672639 Share on other sites More sharing options...
December 30, 2024Dec 30 Author comment_672674 Aha!! Many hours later... Once properly shaped, the piece is perfect! But as-delivered the shape was quite a bit off. Perhaps it warped in the Colombian sun before shipment!

December 31, 2024Dec 31 comment_672715 I never use the entire patch panel. I've never seen a dogleg that rusted up that far. (okay, I'm in Phoenix - but we get (or got) quite a few California cars too...) I agree that Tabco's kinda suck. But I cut them just below the indent an inch and keep the stock bodyline above that. At least with Tabco, it's that part that mates (and looks) the worst. Then the weld is below that body line and on a nice "flat" surface...
