I used the Clark's panel on my 63 rampside (see
http://community.webshots.com/user/swi66).  The panel fits all right but it
takes abit to mig weld it in - my main comment is that it is of very thin
gauge metal.   It would be nice if it was thicker.  It works but is next to
impossible to weld without warping the metal.  Takes alot of  board sanding
to get that panel flat , but it can be done.  Dennis Dorogi
