I may need some patch panels to replace portions of the floor in my 912. They aren't rusted completely through, just a few pin-holes but the material is thin and somewhat flexible in a few locations.

Anyway, I don't want to purchase $440 worth of pans from restoration design just to cut them up for patch panels.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a good source for some old pan sections? These things have to be getting hard to find.

Maybe I'll end up buying restoration design pans and selling the parts I don't use?

Also, what years should be similar? My car is a 67.

Pictures coming soon

Thanks

1965-1968 will be the same. Finding used panels in usable shape may be a lengthy adventure, and you may end up paying the same as or more than new bits.

Just a history lesson for myself,

When they lengthened the wheel base did they add length to the floor pans or change features? It looks like the reproduction parts are listed as 65-89 and photos of early/late floor pans look pretty identical.

Are there any differences between SWB/LWB floor pans that are slight enough that it is not worth making different parts for SWB vs LWB (especially with low demand)?
