Patch panels for 47 Dodge coupe

[casper50]

I can find new rockers but haven't been able to find any patch panels for the area from the door to the front of the rear fender. Anyone make them?

Check out The Plymouth Doctor's site, they have patch panels for your car.

James I see the patch panels for 47 plymouth but I can't find any for a 47 Dodge in there.

per my experience..you pretty much on your own for fabrication of metal panels outside of rockers and possible front floor replacement access panels..the Plymouth is a smaller body than the three bigger sisters..

I was asking because I have found a guy with a coupe body with really good panels that he'll cut out for me but he wants $150 each.  I realize that he'll have time in it cutting them out.  Just hoped I could find some cheaper.  Thanks

if he cut a nice car to get some panels and of course you did not say what panels sections you are looking at...compare these to Plymouth Doctor and make the call...some things are costly regardless of the source...you have to weight that yourself...but do inspect any rear fender dogleg closely..molding ties in here, the fender to the body ties..lower section seems to be the worse of the fender panel and depending on car's environment, the area of the grille and lower lights is next for damage..(pinholes could be hidden by what may appear to be light rust scale, as this panel section rusts from both sides on the average..)

I think son in law Dale was going to use the bottom edge of an old door to make a patch panel in that area.

The door already has the curvature......just have to cut off the inside of door stuff, trim to size, etc,  to make it fit.
