We have the front & rear patches en-route. At Sema we spoke to the manufacturers & are getting the outer wheel house built & the top Arch built. This will eventually lead to the full qaurter panel. We ship the samples out for the outer wheel houses this week. this is generally a 90 day turn around.
Is there any intel on when the patch panels will be available? I'd love to be the first one to get them on my car and give some feedback!
is there any more information on these panels? I will have to resort to building my own if it doesn't look like they will be available in the next month. I have sent an email regarding this as well. Any response at all would be welcome , be it yes, no, or we're not interested in your business
My bad! I checked my email on my old phone last night and found an old email I had not seen. It was from your sales department and said they would notify me when they came in. I will wait patiently as I've decided to build my own for now as I have no intention of letting my baby sit for another summer. The experience will be good and I will have all the pieces including the outer wheel house on hand when I do the full resto. Btw, that little step GM built in around the wheel opening is a bitch to reproduce!
No, I'll check I think they are shipping with the cowl hoods. Buick is in production & waiting on the Olds cowl units to be completed before shipping.
I finished my own driver side patch a week before I got the email that these were available. I think it turned out okay, I learned a ton but it was way too much work. I ordered both fronts immediately as well as some other goodies. At least I can drive it this summer and deal with the next priority in the winter.
No, the patch panel thickness was much thicker than the original. I stitch weld and move around the area when welding. I also use a blow gun and cool it off when welding.
