Dash Patch Panel?

I thought I saw somewhere where you could get a patch panel for the radio area of the dash but for the life of me I can't find where when I need one (see pic). Do any of you vendors out there carry one?

I don't know how or what they did, but like my son says people like that should not be allowed to buy tools.

Dash

OUCH
I hate it when they do that!
I just had to repair my dash, I did as posted above...cut a partial (big) chunk from a donor truck and cut and welded it into mine CAUTION: weld with patience...burns through REALLY easy. Been there done that. Good luck.

From what I remember, there is no patch panel for that, but the vendors would make a killin on them if they did make one.
That is plain sick. Oh my F'n god is exactly what I said when i saw the pic there.

I just bought an ac dash. So if you'd like I could send you the patch panel that I'd cut out to repair my dash. Should just about weld in right on the top side of the prybar marks and plenty of extra metal on all sides, look at the pic, piece fits above the welded holes. If you'd like it.

67-72 dash radio repair sections are not due until late spring early summer, 60-63 in about 2 months, 64-66 a few are available now with quantities in about 1-1 1/2 months. Looks like someone cut it for a CD player and it then suffered a smash and grab theft.
