Are there any recommendations on a quality left and right patch panels for the 4 door wagon? Anything to avoid?

Your request is confusing. Do you mean "front fender" or the front of the rear quarter panel? What do you mean by "fender skirt"?

If you're talking quarter panels, the smaller the patch panel, the more likely it's not an authentic repro.

Assuming he is referring to a '57 model (per his signature), he is most likely referring to either the lower front fender repair patch (a common rust area on '57 models), or the area just in front of the rear wheel - and on a 4-door model, that is a very small area of sheet metal.

CARS, Inc list the fender repair panel: https://carsinc.com/1957-lower-rear-fender-section-right-hand-1095.html

I'm not sure that CARS or anyone else makes that small rear quarter piece for a 4-door?

A picture would help. Being in California you may not have to get into the flanges, and may be able to use just a small piece of flat metal.
I have repaired several California fenders.
