About Our Panels
Our Panels
Because we generally cater to lower production or less popular models, our panels are hand made. Stamping / pressing panels is only financially feasable with higher production runs and we leave that to the many reputable companies who want to serve those customers.
Our hand made panels are patterned off of original parts. All our panels are made from 20 gauge (unless stated otherwise in the product description) cold rolled, mild steel and left bare. Although rare, slight surface rust may appear on the panels when you receive them depending on humidity levels during shipping.
Some variation in fit is to be expected and may still happen even with high-production, die-pressed parts. Much of this is attributed to the slight differences in the OEM panels that were made decades ago with more tolerances for accuracy than what we see in today’s vehicles. What fits one classic car perfectly may require slight modification for another. These are repair panels, not OEM replacement panels, but our panels are accurate duplicates of the OEM panel we used as a pattern.
