Best dogleg repair panels

Featured Replies

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.

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!

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...
