I took my entire front end to a body shop and they lost it...... don't ask me how but they pulled that off.
Either way I need a full set of front sheet metal for a 1955 Buick Century 66R body two door.
I've tried all the major recyclers west coast to east coast and can't find them anywhere....... I really don't want to destroy an entire car because of somebody else making a mistake....
Any and all help will be much appreciated. Thank you

Not too many years ago you could order new metal for most makes of cars. It is very expensive. I had a 57 Chevy about 18 years ago. You could get any panel for that you wanted. I would suggest typing in " new metal panels for 1955 Buick" and see what comes up.
I'd also be holding the body shop responsible. Sounds more like theft than "lost" They should reimburse you. Good luck on your project car.

They probably sold it.
Anyway, your best bet is to go to the Buick car clubs. They usually know where to find NOS stuff.
I rebuilt a 56 Roadmaster some years ago and got 90% of my needed parts from the clubs and Ebay.
