89-95 rust repair parts

Anyone know of a place to buy rear quarter patch panels made of steel? I need to fix rusty panels around the back wheel arches

No I don't

But me and my friends fixed his by taking some 14 ga steel plates, cut it to the shape required, then held it with a big magnenet, and tacked it in place. Of course, trim would be difficult, but it is an idea.

Hope this helps, Chas

You also need to hit it with an English Wheel or power planishing hammer to put the needed curve in the new patch metal.

If you try to bend it cold and tack it in place, you're leaving a lot of contained stress there - and it'll try to unzip later, that or distort the rest of the fender.

Just what I was looking for, thank you very much. I have been looking for a long time for these parts.
