Thanks guys

I'm not particularly looking for Ford stuff, but for someone who might make short run panels for other vehicles based on pattern parts. Sorry if my original post was a bit confusing. In particular, I'm looking for early Jeep (CJ 2/3) panels especially body tub, front wings and windscreen surrounds.

Cheers

There was a company called 'ex-pressed steel' that might be able to help you. I think they were doing a lot of Ford stuff, and the geography sounds about right. I don't have any contact details but I would think a web search or one of the classic magazines might help.

HTH Mike.

Just caught the tail end of a program on TV the other day about classic UK > Ford's and they showed a workshop where replacement panels were made to > limited run order. The Ford Anglia club was mentioned and I think the name > of the company was "classic restorations" based in West Yorkshire.

Try Radford Panel Company, Heathcote Industrial Estate, Warwick. I understand they've made parts for the A40 Farina Club in the past.

Sports Car Metalworks, Unit 4A Dutton Farm, Bangors Road South, Iver, Bucks, SL0 0PY Tel/Fax: 01753 654144 make various MGA and T-type panels. I've seen their stuff at the shows, and it looks good, but I've not bought anything yet, so I've no idea whether any of it fits.
