1964 Valiant "Get Runnin & Drivin"

Can't you get a patch panel for that area?

IIRC Goodmark and Layson's both had them at one time.

...and that copper backing "spoon" is fairly cheap at Harbor Freight and pretty well made.
Not the outer wheelhouse, no. I have the quarter patch panel that has the entire outer body wheelhouse on it, but what I need is the panel immediately under THAT and it's not available. Me and Freddie talked about it around the bonfire last night and he gave me some ideas. I'm gonna run by there this week during the day so he can detail it a bit more.
