Joe, if you don't find some here on the CF I know that Paragon Corvette Reproductions has channel repair panels available and they are nice. I had to replace driver side some years back on my 72 and that is where I sourced the panels.
Good luck with your search and best regards,
David Howard

the panels from paragon are inserts right? i didnt wanna go that route because my pass side is so rusty, did you leave what was left of your old channel left in place?
thanks

Mine was up front in the channel and the lower potion heading up the kick panel. I bought a new one from Paragon and replaced the old one. I didn't buy inserts, I bought repair sections. Sorry if I wasn't clear before. Good luck with your search.

I have a complete from firewall to rear clip from a 71. bird cage is in very good shape and needs to be taken apart but I really have no time to do it. Take the whole clip for 200.00 but I live in Vancouver BC Canada

no joe, i did a c2 rocker that i got from paragon. it was a complete replacement, full length rocker. and it was very nice, it fit perfect and all i had to do was drill holes for my spot welds...
