I am looking to keep a rusty Bronco on the road. Good thing the frame is still good! I've got lots of bits on it that are rusty, and I'm good with a welder and don't mind patching it up but it's hard to find some of these patch panels.

If you've got a Ranger or Bronco II, a cutting torch, and time, I've got a little bit of money!

The highlighted section in the below photo is (unfortunately) gone completely. There's a hole there now. The other picture is an actual photo of my Bronco II and it should be the same as the part on the Ranger.

There's a few other places where it would be nice to have patch panels but I could probably make do with flat pieces and some time. It won't be pretty, but those places are mostly hidden away.

Lead follow or get out of my way
I don't know if they even offer a panel like that.

Maybe stitch a cut from another cab.

Maybe a full cage and some half doors...

Maybe...

I think it would be cutting it out from another cab. To be honest, I think I'll just stitch it up with scrap metal and if I really care that much about it one day just switch out the body with a more solid one. I hear it isn't too taxing to do that.
