> > I will NEVER, EVER buy body panels from Wolfsburg West, again! EVER! > Well, I don't know if they make panels for splits but the company occasionaly advertising in the mags called Mill Supply makes excellent bay window panels, on my '76 I found out about them after I had already ordered a OEM sliding door side rocker for nearly $50 and had fabbed quite a bit of the rocker and sliding door track support structure from sheet steel, I obtained the other rocker from Mill Supply and it was a thing of beauty, fit correctly front to back with the correct indentations, water drains, etc, double galvanized, held it with a few rivets then MIG welded it on perfectly, I trimmed a small piece off to facilitate fitment and it happened to lay outside most of the summer in the weather, after 3 months the piece had rusted only on the edge I cut, not on any factory surface, this is why I figure it was galvanized though it didn't particularly look it, sort of dull grey but not coated looking, anyway the whole rocker, 8" high by the length of the bus was about $16, I was very pleased, of course if they make split panels the fitment could be much worse if they are geeneric to fit many years, still who knows?
