I need a rust free drivers side A pillar/kick panel area from a car. I can make the patch panels, but it will save me time if I can get a cut from a car. I need this area; Pink lines show the cut area.
Let me know what you have. Somewhat time sensitive, I need soon as possible since I am in the middle of working on it and I need to get it back together. I only found this much rust after I got into it.
Fighting the same rust spot on my latest project car. The only hint of rust on the entire car. Judging from the frequency of rust repairs in this area (lots of rust repair threads show the same hole) I'd expect it'll be hard to find a rust free donor car. It'd be nice if the aftermarket would start producing more patch panels. Even so the bulk of that panel is flat in the area that needs to be cut out and replaced, so it's not too difficult to fabricate.

It shouldn't be too hard to get it from a car that isn't in the rust belt. My other car doesn't have any problems in this area, I suspect, from lack of winter driving. I can get it from Hawks, but they want $250 for a cut from a car, which is a lot for what I really want here.
I can make a patch, but there are so many different thicknesses of metal in this area and getting a cut for the 3 different patches I need out of it is just easier. I fixed the other side already, but this side is more extensive. I am also building the car at the same time, so I can just keep going with other parts of the project until I get what I need.
