Guys,I'm looking for opinions. My 67 GTO has front fender cancer (runs in the family). I've heard and read that the available 67 front fender patch panels are pretty poor, but are they the best option available. Would it be better to fabricate my own and end up hating myself for spending all that time and effort while wondering eternally if the patch panels I never gave a chance to, would have been the right choice.
I just read what I wrote, and realized that I've been spending too much time alone. Anyway what do you think 1.)procede to purchase "pretty poor" poopy patch panels. 2.) Fabricate my own?. So many questions, so little time. All opinions are welcomed provided the quality of the answer exceeds the quality of the question. Thanks guys

I purchased front panels from Year One and yes they were not perfect.But,if you take the time and make sure the parts fit and are trimmed and fitted and trimmed and patience and trimmed. You will be satisfied ! The hardest area to cut and fit in was at the rear edge.

I read all the same things when I was with Cutoff Wheel in Hand on my 67. When it was all over I had new metal and was very happy with the fit.
Go with the after market Panels. Just remember they are not LeGo's, it will require a person with metal working skills and KleKo buttons.
Go for It!

Thanks Goatmon. Sounds like the panels are at least a good starting point.
