Most if not all pattern panels will be magnum supplied but sold through various companies. M Machine do make a lot of their own panels, sills outer and inner, floors etc but not outer panels like wings and quarter panels. But again with M machine its always best to call them to see exactly what they do and don't manufacture.

Full pattern panels are not too bad and only require minor tweaking.

 

What you need to watch for is pattern "repair" panels which were designed to be the rough shape and are expected to be welded over the top of the existing rusty section.

This is true of bootfloor repair panels (back section and sides) hinge panel repairs, door steps etc etc
