Default Does anybody make these panels

I cant find these panels anywhere. Does anybody make them






The one i ordered to replace it isnt correct. It says outer cowl, but it doesnt look like the donor or the fastback panel nor does it have the cutouts for the door hinges.

Thanks
here is the replacement panel

That looks like trouble if you need that. If you are talking about the part of the unibody (the big pillar) where the hinges for the doors attach I have never seen that in a catalog or any website. I would say your best bet would be to find a donor car. But I'm going to check my parts catalog just to make sure and see if I can come up with a part number for you.

if it is the pillar where the hinges bolt to you will have to cut it out of a donar car. Mine is rusted as well and had to cut one out of a different car.

That cowl side will work. They may have slight cosmetic differences, but it will work. I replaced both of mine.

Yeah going through the catalogs it seems that is like the only part that isn't repoped on this car, sorry but you'll need a donor.

What is wrong with the one on the car? It does not appear that bad in the pic?

that panel on my 69 had to be patched, it was rusted out above the top hinge. It looks like the rist on that piece can be taken off, not sure if you need to replace that one. The outer cowl piece sure looks like it needs it though

looks like you're making progress!

The panel pictured is the donor panel. I will need to combine the two panels to make one good unit. Im really surprised that they dont make the front outside(below the cowl) panel.Oh well, at least i have something to work with.
