The 1970-1972 Chevelle (Except Wagon / El Camino) Tail Lamp Patch Panel is a precision-engineered replacement section designed to repair the area surrounding the rear taillight assembly. Commonly prone to rust or collision damage, this panel is stamped from heavy-gauge steel to match the factory contours and fitment of coupe and convertible models. It restores the structure and appearance around the taillight pocket, allowing for proper mounting and alignment of the taillight lens. Ideal for restorations and body repairs, this patch panel delivers long-lasting durability and a clean, original look.
Installation:
Difficulty: 4/5 – Requires cutting, welding, and precise panel alignment.
Instructions: Remove the damaged section around the taillight opening by cutting along the factory seams. Clean and prep surrounding metal surfaces. Test fit the patch panel to ensure alignment with the taillight pocket and quarter panel. Weld securely into place, grind welds smooth, and apply seam sealer, primer, and paint before reinstalling the taillight assembly.
