Does anyone know if the tabco patch panel from a two door will work on my sedan?  Just wanted to confirm before ordering.

My wagon uses a Ranchero 1/4 panel. It must be cut, but I have matched it exactly from my '74 Ranchero to my '72 wagon.

I would suspect that a Formal top panel would be a good match for your sedan, but would need to be cut like I'm having to do. Since a sedan, Sportroof, and Formal all use the same bumpers and trunk lids, it seems that the Formal 1/4 should work with a little massaging.

I expect to need to fit the front edge to the door opening. I've seen other panels for sedans, but they don't have the dog leg and that is the worst part on the fender. Thanks for the info.
