Default BEST 30-31 Roadster Wheel well patch panels

Who makes the best inner wheel patches for a 1930-31 Roadster? Hope the three beads align, plan to cut and fit the new metal to the old, NOT a cheap quick overlay. Thank you! Bob

Only cut what has to come out for rot ; usually 2-3”. As seems like you stated, DO NOT replace a full panel!
Email be direct and I will give you some interesting info about such. I make my own and will send you pics.

To answer your question….no one makes a “really good one” and last I heard they were out of stock but see them on eBay (Snyder’s shows them out of stock)

It is best to just replace what is bad.

It is not hard to make your own from scratch. It does not have to be perfect as that area is hard to see.
