looking for patch panels for a 52 Hornet

JMed

Does anyone have a parts car that can provide some patch panels for a '52 Hornet?

As you can see from the photos below, rust has eaten through some of the sheet metal. I am interested in the following:

- metal behind tail lights, both sides
- metal in front of hood, both sides (there is a plate inside the hood reinforcing the front and dirt/moisture in there ruined the hood on both sides)
- lower driver door - coupe
- front passenger side cross member/body support (I can probably just weld a thick piece of steel in there but in case someone has it)

Thank you all

Yes,,,I feel your pain. I had these very same issues and had to cut out all the rusted areas and replace with new metal. Had to remove the reinforcing from under the hood ,fix the corners of the hood and replace the reinforcing part. Try Stew Coleman in Montana he might have these items.

Do you have any contact information for Stew Coleman?
