in search of door skin patch panel for model A

[hotrod preacher]

ok guys, most of you know I haven't been really involved on here lately, divorce, back to full-time body shop work and then remarried, but I am in need of some advice or recommendations
just rolled a model A into the shop for a little body & paint work and
it needs a little TLC
I need a door skin, lower patch panel for a 30-31 model A tudor sedan

who can lead me to a good, affordable one?
anybody making them that hangs out here?
also needing a lower cowl patch panel as well


any help would be greatly appreciated!

I think Cornwall customs is your answer, I think I have that name right.

Mike at cornfield customs is your man for sheet metal work. I have no idea what his rates are but you get what you pay for!

Snider's and Braaton's are the first names in A parts. Also Howwell's but I've used their panels and they just don't get the compound curve in things like Henry did.

i used the roof skin off a 73-87 chevy pick up. I rolled my own bead in it and hammer and dollied the lip.

Like a true rodder, I like that. The top of my cowl and all of the thresh holds were a 77 T-bird hood. I did use a Howell's rear panel for my tub but I looked a long time for something in the junkyard that would fill the bill.

thanks for some inspirational encouragement, Patina...
my fear was the bottom "bead-body line"
I have formed a couple of skins in the past, but none with this accent, and I haven't figured out how to make that body line on it with what I have readily available...
-and the replacement skin at $73 doesn't seem too expensive especially since my client is footing the bill!
