Haven't had one in my hands, but the pics do look a little less than perfect. They are still much better than if you tried to make them by hand. I made the ones in my car by hand and had to do the main body and the lower wheel opening lip in separate pieces.

This is another source for the patch panels. http://www.alfaparts.net/sky.htm (http://www.alfaparts.net/sky.htm)

I made patches for the 65 Skylark I race. This would be a head start on the fab process. I have a quartre off a donor car that only has rust in the front and back edges. Might tryout one of these for the other side..

My suspicion is the Buick Farm is buying them from Wolf Steel and re-selling them.

The ones listed on Buickfarm look just like the Wolf Steel qrts, one of which I'm installing right now. No, they are not perfect, but better than what I had. Fortunately I was able to use a driver side lower qrt from one of my donors.

Dwaine , that looks nice! so your restoration is coming along! We dont have to many repo panels for these cars! I wish I had the ways and means I would have
panels made for our cars! Jon

Jon - Thanks. Resto is slow with work and life getting in the way! Kinda sad that I picked up two donors and could only salvage a single qrt.

Well it looks alot better on the car than on the website. I am repearing a panel for my passenger side quarter.
