Big-time project.

Buy the floorpan video/DVD, it shows you exactly what needs to be done. Both pan-off and pan-on repair. (The latter being s bit easier in that you don't need to lift the body off...)

JCWhitney's pans are really thin.

You can get much better quality sheet metal from

or

This may be worth checking out as well: I have heard that pan quarters tend to be thicker than pan halves. If that is true, you would need to do a little more work (one extra seam - no biggie) but you would end up with a thicker pan. I have not verified it and did not hear of it until I already bought my pans, but it could be a good approach to take.

I really appreciate all your help Speedy Jim! You are an amazing resource on this group.

Thanks again!

Good to know, I'll have to ask and compare gauge on the pans before I buy anything.

That's what I try to do as well. Also bring a thickness gauge with you when you go to bug shows and intend to buy sheet metal.

Welcome to RAMVA, btw :)

I repaced my rusty pans with thick aluminum sheets i had bent locally. It cost about the same as jc whit. It's not factory but it is solid as hell! I will never have to do that again.

Hey David,

I'm not sure where to look for quality parts, so any recommendations (especially around San Jose, California, to save on shipping if I can) would be a really big help!

Thanks
