Default Firewall patch panel for a '67?

I have a 1967 mustang that needs a drivers side firewall patch panel. From what i've found the patch panel that's available is one for a '65 and you just have to make it work on a '67. The difference is that on a '67 it has two ridges that bump out and the '65's just has one. So, if i were to just buy a '65 patch i would have to fill in where the 2nd ridge is with weld and i don't really want to do that. So, does anyone know of anyplace that sells a patch panel for a 67? and thanks for any info.

If your talking about the firewall panel under the fender not the engine bay, yes mustangs unlimited reproduces it. I replaced that on my 67.

You should be able to get the panel from Glazier/Nolan and others, or even the whole firewall, if the damage is extensive, or the patch doesn't reach all of it.

Oh, and MU doesn't reproduce things, they just sell them.

yes, that's the portion i'm talking about. The rust isn't to bad there, i have it all cut out already and the other side has no issues so just a patch will work. I useally get my parts from Laurel Mountain Mustang or NPD just based on their prices and parts that are made in USA or Canada. I'll give mustangs unlimited and Glazier/Nolan a look. thanks for the suggestions.

i just looked at mustangs unlimited and if the picture they have is of the actual panel, it's not an exact match for a '67. I guess it's not that big of a deal but I would've liked it to match.
