Floor pan bummer: Beware
-
I am having someone install the trunk pan on my 41 hudson. He has 40 years in collision. Now retired, doing this on the side. I purchased the pan from Classic to Current fabrication. He told me it would have been better off making one from scratch. The panel is way short and its not even close. Much much work and piecing in. He told me its not worth the money I spent on it. I thought it was high but I also thought it would fit better. Hey, live and learn Maybe the other ones they make for different years fit better? After all ,they are the only pan in town. JIm

What pan are you referring to? I need to replace the driver's side pan (shaped like a triangle) on my '41 and was going to buy one from them (although I can make one myself)...

Guess we'll see - I just bought floorpans from them for my '39, although it will probably be mid-summer before they go in.

The pan I'm refering to is the extreme rear one . I also bought both front triangle pans which are ok. Jim

Got my floorpans via fedex today. Pretty basic, unfinished, about what I expected. Nowhere near the skills or level of 'bent metal', however I wasn't expecting anything special - just floorpans that will require some cutting and finishing work.Guess we'll see - I just bought floorpans from them for my '39, although it will probably be mid-summer before they go in.
I measured the thickness of the metal and it appears to be 18 ga., although I was able to get the 19 ga. slot to fit in places - probably due to a bit of variation in the metal and the forming done thus far...
NOW I've got to get the doors off, what's left of the seat out, and see about removing those old & rotten floor panels - if the weather will cooperate. Too cold outside to do this work right now...
