Looking for patch panels

Hi, all, Newbie here. I would like your opinion of the BEST place to get patch panels for my '56 bird. I need toe kick, floor, braces, extensions, etc. You get the picture, I got a rust bucket. I've gotten some front floor panels and they don't look to be very good. The grooves aren't round but "v" shaped and the body bolt dimples are shallower than the stock ones. I'd just panels that I don't have to spend a lifetime reshapeing to make work.
Appreciate your help,
LB

Concours Thunderbird Parts has good repair panels I understand. They have an online catalog too:

Good Luck, lots of work to get rid of 50+ years of rust and neglect.

There is a guy in Long island NY who makes some of the best replacement panels. For the life of me I cannot remember the name. If you are looking for rocker panels, contact CASCO has they used to have NOS right sides and are full length. As for the left, go to Tee-Bird Products in PA - the ones they have are better designed than the ones the guy on Long Island makes.
