66 Rear Tail lamp panel patch - need advice
Ive got to patch up a rusted out spot at the base of the tail lamp panel on my 66. I have already cut this area out and tried to make a patch myself but my skills just aint there so I was looking for a patch panel and have seen one on classic parts, but there is a reverse light circular hole that mine has that Im not seeing on the patch panel. This has to be the right patch panel, but thought Id ask if anyone else has had to make this kind of repair and bought a panel before I spend around $90

Thanks Clyde, was it pretty close as a fit? Curved edges looked right on the panel?
