Folks: does anyone know a seller for Sherman patch panels? For the younger crowd, they used to make affordable patch panels for all sorts of cars. I used a few of their pieces on a Torino I rebuilt.
I don't think they're around any longer. When you google Sherman, you get kicked over to Meyer Distributing. I gave those guys a call once, and they gave me the contact info for two supposed dealers in the KC area. But when I called both shops, neither one said they carried the parts. They do still have some parts listed on Summit and JEGS, but nothing for TBirds I could find.
The old Sherman catalog isn't online that I can find, but I recall them having fender, lower door, and quarter patches. I recall them having about 8-10 different pieces for 87-88 TBirds and more for the 83-86. Does anyone have any tips?
I'm not above hand forming, but as an old metal man I used years ago said, "I'd rather start out with an old wheelbarrow bucket than a flat piece of metal."
