I was looking at Duster patches, but the wheel opening is angled back, not down. Have any of you guys run into this problem, and what did you do? Thanks in advance for any help 5744401-Val1:4.jpg (44 downloads)

They're in perfect shape too, just faded. The doors and fenders I'm going to use are in great shape and don't have the holes in them. Easier to fill in the quarters than drill the doors and fenders, lol.

At least what's out there as far as used is still relatively cheap . Always loved the "green brick" & yours looks just as cool ... good luck https://www.customwiresets.com/home.php
