G'day, I need some help with my 1924 Chev roadster 1/4 panels. I don't know if they convex out at the bottom or are they straight? I need to fabricate the patches for them this weekend.

As you can see they were/are quite rough.

Hi, Jimmy -

They are almost perfectly straight, taper inward at the bottom just very slightly. Send me an email address, and I will email you some photos of my 25 Roadster while it was in "bare body" condition, which might be useful to you.

(I can't see how to attach photos to the PM function; and your email doesn't show in your profile)

As I think about this more - they are virtually straight up-and-down vertical at the very rear - and there is more of a taper inward at the bottom as they come forward to meet the rear of the door opening...

Got it. A dozen photos of the rear section are on their way, via 3 different emails. Hope it helps a bit.

If anyone else has more, I'm sure Jimmy would be glad for whatever else we can provide.
