Will be going with Top Banana in the future.

No problem. The biggest rework I've had to do on a patch panel thus far was narrowing/re-shaping the passenger side rear cab support. Other than that, it's just been minor re-shaping, pie-cuts, trimming, relocating holes, and the like. I'm happy with the panels, but I just want to be sure not to give anyone the impression that you can just drop them in place and start welding. From what I've read/seen, there are two or three companies that actually produce the panels (Tri-Plus being one of them), which the retailers (LMC, Top Banana, etc.) sell to the public.

Thanks, Bomp! I'm still reading through your build thread. I really dig the stretched cab.
