Is KGAP Still In Business?
I don't think that is true. I was sent my order two days ago. No problems.

Truck Cab
So I could basically bolt on coupe doors and add six inches to the roof and I would have a stretch cab?

Huh? I wonder how many young kids are getting on a "classic car" forum?

I'm a car guy. I really don't want to do this computer stuff. OR LEARN A NEW WAY TO DO IT! I really don't want to start a facebook profile either. I just want to talk cars. This forum looks like a place for young kids now. Not a…

I did not like "Karma". Then I started to notice the people that had negative marks and the people that had possitive marks. Now I look at "Karma" a new way. A way to see how others here on the forum see us. If you are around…

I agree with Rambo's Ride on this one. These floors pans look more like a junior high school shop project than some thing I would want to use on my car! I might add, I wouldn't want to buy a car that had that poor of a quality panel weld…

Something about the lines on this car look better than original. I held the edge of a sheet of note book paper up to the side view picture of the belt line on your car and it is as straight as can be. Was that luck or did you make that happen? It…

Bent Metal, I have two questions for you: #1. I was looking at the photograph of the door skin that is being welded in. It looks like you have tack welded every inch, as per what I have seen in magazines. However, it looks like you are weld…

Those radiator panels look original! I think these are important, they keep a Hudson cool. I don't think that the fan can properly pull air through the radiator without them. Good idea to make them thicker as well. The original panels were …
