Hey does any one know of a good place to get body sheet metal to replace rust. My 76' 2.0 has some but I've seen worse.I'll try and post some pics if i can figure out how. I wanna try and stop it now and repair it when my bug is drivable. I have all the tools to do it but was wondering were to order it from or if i should cut it out of a junk yard car.
Thanks |

I've bought sheet metal from both Auto Atlanta and Restoration Design. Restoration Design's stuff was fantastic. It was all shaped and trimmed perfectly. It fit right in with no problems. It also came galvanized using the same method as modern cars.
The AA parts I bought were not trimmed, some were painted, some were bare metal. The fit was still pretty good, just required a little more work to get it in. RD is a small shop and it takes a while to get the stuff ordered and shipped, but if you plan in your project for several months of waiting to get it, I think it is worth the wait. Just my .02 |
