I am trying to find out what the best way is to repair a rusted through door jamb. I have been looking for a patch panel and have not found any for the door jamb. The section i need to fix is the back bottom corner. Its totally rusted through. I dont know if this is a common area for major rust problems, but if anyone has a suggestion, I am open to ideas. thanks in advance

OK, I have been looking at full quarter panels and I think the section that I would need is included with the full 1/4. So my next question is, where is the best place to order sheetmetal from. I have looked at the Year One website and a couple others but I dont know if there is a big difference in quality or prices between all these places. Thanks.

Why not get them directly from Goodmark? Worth a price check.

Steve, that would be real cool. I will try to post some pics so everyone can see what I'm working with. I dont think its too bad of a car to try to fix up. I am hoping to make a restification project with some custom touches here and there. Thanks.
