Location: sweden, vättern		Hej på er!

Efter några år nu med min Desoto Firedome 4dörrars 59'a så körde jag precis in den i garaget för påbörjan av en efterlängtad renovering.
Men! Då bilen är ganska dålig i bakre hjulhuskanter och bakåt, så måste jag ha tag i ekonomiplåt för att enns ha en chans att få till bilen snyggt innan lack.

Jag har sökt med ljus och lyckta för att hitta plåt, men ikke.
Så min fråga är, Har ni några förslag på folk som kan ha? Eller tillverka skärmkanter/quarterpanels?

För övrigt är bilen riktigt fräsh och har nyrenoverad drivlina, så vore synd det hade fallit på detta från att få en fin utställare.

Mvh Jens

Just in case there are English speakers who might be able to help you Jens:

"Hello to you!

After a few years now with my Desoto Firedome 4-door '59, I just drove it into the garage to start a long-awaited renovation.
But! Since the car is quite bad in the rear wheelhouse edges and backwards, I have to get hold of economy sheet metal to even have a chance to get the car nice before paint.

I have searched with candles and lanterns to find sheet metal, but no.
So my question is, Do you have any suggestions for people who might have? Or manufacture screen edges/quarterpanels?

Incidentally, the car is really fresh and has a newly renovated drivetrain, so it would be a shame if it had fallen on this from getting a nice exhibitor.

Etc. Jens"

If you were in the US (or Canada) you might be interested in these:

I easily bent them in half and threw them away. Because of how thin the were, they weren't even useful as scrap metal. Just pure garbage.

Unfortunately, the only good place to get decent repair panels is from Lennart Svard in Sweden. Don't waste your time or money with anything else.

I would say that since Jens is either in Sweden or nearby, having Lennart Svard nearby is a FORTUNATE thing.

Jens?
