1931 coupe Rear corner repair
How can I repair a rusted out rear body corner? The available patch panels don’t fit worth a tinker’s darn. Does anyone have a suggestion?

You need to do a little fitting with patch panels usually always. I think do that or start from scratch. Also there are fabricating body shops if you don't mind the cost. Your choice.

Possibly a donor car.I just sold the rear corners off one to a guy that said the repros were not available right now.I had a fire damaged coupe but the corners still had the pinstriping on them.

Some restoration shops have the equipment to fabricate patches for their customer cars. The Fords have more sheet metal available than than most other makes but there are still restorers that will take in the makes that have little or no support for parts like this. There is no other choice than fabrication. This type of work is expensive since the machines that make the job easier are very expensive as well. It can be done without expensive machines but it takes longer and dollar per hour figures add up. |
