If we are talking about the panel across the bottom the rear window and which extends into the trunk under the trunk lid, these are available at practically any aftermarket Chevelle parts supplier like Year One, National Parts Depot, etc. These are not patch panels, it is one complete assembly. I am referring to 68-69 Chevelles. Not ceratin about any other years or El Caminos. As for "patch panels", it would be nice to have a front fender patch panel for the front half of the wheel well on 68-69's. After the lower rear half of the fender is shot, this is the next place to go. It has a lot of compound curves so it makes it difficult to replace. >From: "John Nasta" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: RE: [Chevelle-List] 69 Chevelle Rear Window >Date: Fri, 22 Feb 2002 00:20:15 -0500 > >Hey Tom, maybe you can provide a model for me.
