Sheet Metal & Body Panels

What Types of Car Body Panels and Sheet Metal Can You Buy?

You can buy car body panels for outer skins, inner structure and complete assemblies, sorted into subcategories by panel type. These cover the most common restoration jobs:

• Fenders & inner fenders, including Sherman Parts front fender assemblies for Toyota, Dodge and Kia models.
• Hoods, such as a Sherman Parts factory-style hood panel and the Chevrolet Performance COPO Camaro cowl-induction hood for Gen 5 Camaro.
• Doors & door skins, including steel door shells for 1969-72 Blazer/Jimmy, 1972 Suburban and 1947-50 GM trucks.
• Firewall & floor pans, such as a steel floor pan half for 1962-67 Nova. Camaro owners can start with our Camaro floor pans buying guide.
• Body tubs, including the Omix-ADA body tub for 1976-86 Jeep CJ7.

If damage spans several areas, shop each panel type separately. That way you can compare coatings and fitment notes side by side.

Should You Choose Patch Panels or Full Replacement Panels?

Choose patch panels when rust or damage is limited to one area. Choose a full replacement panel when the metal is too far gone to repair. A patch replaces only the damaged section, so you keep more original metal.

Quarter panels show both options. Auto Metal Direct offers quarter panel skins for 1968 and 1969 Camaro. It also makes the X700-3568-VL, a full OE-style quarter panel for the 1968 Camaro convertible.

A skin replaces the outer surface, while a full quarter replaces the complete panel. A full panel can be simpler than piecing in several small sections on a badly rusted car. Before you cut, inspect the inner structure behind the damage, since sound structure means a patch or skin may be enough.

Our body panel replacement guide covers cost, installation and prep for either route.

Which Classic Car Body Panels Fit Camaro, Nova and Mustang Restorations?

Classic car body panels in this category cover 1968-69 Camaro, 1962-67 Nova/Chevy II and 1967-68 Mustang restorations. Each part is listed by model and year range, so you can match panels to your exact model year.

Nova builders can choose Detroit Speed mini-tub rear kits for 1962-67 Chevy Nova/Chevy II, which widen the rear-wheel tubs for bigger tires. Mustang owners can replace a rusted lid with the OER 1967-68 Mustang trunk lid. You'll find it under deck/trunk panels.

For Camaro and Nova work, the 1968-69 Camaro quarter panel skins and the 1962-67 Nova floor pan half above are good starting points. If you're comparing reproduction sources for a GM build, read our Auto Metal Direct body panel comparison. It shows how those panels stack up before you commit to a brand.

Which Truck Body Panels Cover Cab Corners, Rockers, Beds and Radiator Supports?

Truck body panels here cover cab corners, rockers, beds and radiator supports for vintage and late-model Ford and GM pickups. Each fix targets a common rust area, so you can repair one section at a time. Rocker and cab corner damage often shows up together, so inspect both before you order.

In cab corners & rocker panels, you'll find OER TR10117XR and TR10117XL inner rocker repair panels for 2004-2008 Ford F-Series crew cabs. There's also a Key Parts 1984-90 2-door rocker panel.

For the front end, radiator supports include the EDP-coated OER TR16138G for 1973-79 Ford F100-F350 and Bronco. Key Parts also offers a 1957 Chevrolet pickup front fender. Auto Metal Direct makes an inner fender for 1951-52 Ford F1/F2.

Out back, truck bed panels round out the job. Our guide to body panels for trucks covers more options by panel.

How Do You Find Replacement Body Panels That Fit Your Vehicle?

To find replacement body panels that fit, add your vehicle with the Add a Vehicle tool. Then confirm the part number and side before you order. If your vehicle isn't saved yet, adding it takes only year, make and model.

The tool narrows more than 62,000 products to parts listed for your year, make and model.

Part numbers matter because similar panels can differ by body style or side. The X700-3568-VL quarter panel is listed for the 1968 Camaro convertible, so check body style as well as year. OER sells its F-Series inner rockers as two part numbers, TR10117XR and TR10117XL.

Many panels are side-specific, so confirm whether you need the driver or passenger side. Read the full product title, since year, body style and side all appear there. Shop all Exterior parts to finish the build.
