Well it has come time to do some long needed rust repairs on our 56 Century HTop. I have chased down one place in the U.S.A. that has some panels.
I am in need of what I expect are common areas of rust repairs in these cars.
rear pillars
1/4 panels both sides at hip/pillar at rear
outter sills both sides
Question:
Do you know of a reliable supplier of good rust panels for these cars?
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried some of the links to auto wreckers in the links area. You will find places like Desert Dog Auto, and the Chop Shop.

Bob,
will follow those through, I was hoping some one was making new rust panels that were of good quality,

thanks

Hepcat,

I haven't noticed anyone making any. That pretty well leaves you to find good enough panels to repair or fabricate some. If yours are rough, I am certain you will find some real nice ones from a southern wrecker. You might also look through the buicks.net classifieds or place a wanted ad there. graemlins/beers.gif

If you can't find any you might try the metal shapers site one of these guys could surely make them.

The last two have websites. They can be easily found when YOU request a "SEARCH"
These are NOS Replacement Panels, However Every Part YOU may Need may not be available from every Vendor.
