I'm all for it. Make you own pans, keep track of your time and let us know how long it takes. Post lots of pics too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Andy, after riding in your car and seeing the work in it, yours is definitely a benchmark build. Mine won't be that nice but great inspiration is always welcome! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
All the other work pictured in this thread and others is what keeps me going too! |

Why is it that no one considers that while you think you can save money building your own panels you are actually costing the community money.
Without companies like RD making parts we buy where will be when no more cars are left to cut up? Stop being a cheapo support the community and the businesses that help keep it alive. |

Seems everyone is focused on the time and money not the experience.
Dad and I made our own floorpan replacement section and it didn't turn out too bad. I did end up buying a full pan and extra panels from resto design but I'm glad we did our own first as it's helped with other panels I've had to make from scratch. Attached thumbnail(s)

On the east coast, there's usually so much to repair that any prefab metal is sought after. As George stated, the cost of supplies made his home made pans a wash. Many of us owe the rebirth of our cars to Restoration design. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)
