anyone have issues with these?

Thinking about just going this route for the floor panels, they could be patched but I really do not want to deal with it. I shouldnt say that money is no issue, but I am not going to cut any corners at all on this.

Got 'em in my '56. Front - not quite wide enough, trans/tunnel cover won't match factory holes in the cowl to bolt on, wood in hat channels, welds suck, primer is junk- need to sand/scrape/blast it off, no holes for pedals or m/c fill, original tool box won't fit on this panel due to different tunnel bends,etc etc. If I was to do it over I'd get just the floor panels from Classic Ent. Rear - underbracing not in factory locations, seat mount areas not right, lower rear valance where tailgate hinges go are not aligned, same junk primer and wood as fronts, bad welds, etc etc. How bad are the floors? No way I would spend money on these (esp truck freight), got mine in swaps so I don't feel too bad. IMO, stay far, far away.

 

thats why we post these things, thanks for the heads up. I will check out classic. The floors in the fornt need to be replaced, the braces underneath are pretty chewed up, the floors themselves are repairable maybe, back is a little better, but dented real bad. I am going to replace all with new, just need to find out where.

 

classic looks much much cheaper also, quality is good???

 

I'd try here too. No longer has a website, but if he can help you out the shipping won't kill you. Jeep Panel Plus 96 Reservoir Road South Paris ME. 04281
207 743 7671

 

I'd guess most of these vendors sell MD Juan parts. Rigid Steel in Rowe MA also sells floor pans, for 2/3 the price of Kaiser-Willys, and they are only about 150 miles from you.

I've heard good things about Jeep Panels Plus, but I also hear they are something of a Mom&Pop business, and you need to call.

 

Huh, will have to look at those, thabks guys

What a great guy from JEEP panels plus. talked to him for quite awhile turns out he is a fellow submariner. looks like I can get front and rear floor panels along with all hat channels made out of 16 and 18 guage american steel for around 400 bucks. Also got a price from him to drop off the tub and pick it up all welded and complete. Being as I don't have a welder right now this might be the way to go. Just an FYI if you call him he will send you complete catalog free of charge.
