thanks! what are your further plans for 1951-1954's? thanks!

are these rocker panels curved like oiginal of straight like most NORS units? thanks

Not a problem at all guys, we're here to make your job restoring classics much easier. Our outer rocker panels would have the correct radius bend in them; however we did notice a change in our 4dr patterns and it is getting fixed right now.

How about the future availability of smaller patch panels for the rust prone areas? Is that something in the works?

In the next couple of months we actually will venture into the stamping market. We're going to start slow with the lower rear quarter panels for the popular cars, and then work our way towards the lesser popular cars. Our goal is to manufacture the front and rear floor pans, trunk pans and inner and outer rocker panels first. We've been provided with templates for a 1938 Packard sedan, in which we've just made the front and rear floor pans. Once we figure out all of the years and makes that it covers we will make it available on our website to the public. If anyone knows, please let us know.

Wow, thanks for that news Michael. Will you be making any of the parts I need for my 1950? I've noticed that there are lots of 1948-50 Packards being restored presently so there is definitely a market for these parts. Thank you for your assistance with bringing these beautiful cars back to their former glory.

For the 1948-50 Packard, we currently have the inner and outer rocker panels, Front and rear floor pans and now the lower trunk pan (we could not fabricate the spare tire well). I have not decided on a price for the trunk pan, but it'll be around $89.99. You can visit our website for pictures and pricing info, or email me at Sales@c2cfabrication.com with any inquiries. For some reason, our website tends to load very slowly if you're using a Microsoft Explorer web browser or any other browser supported by such, but if you use Mozilla firefox or any other browser then it loads very fast (we're trying to work this problem out). We have also just completed the front floor pans for the 1938-40 Packard and you guys are the first to know about this. Here is a picture of what they look like. We hope to have most sheet metal replacement panels available for all Packard models in the near future.

We've just finished the trunk floor pan lower section for the 1948-50 Packard. This does not include the upper spare tire well section and the price is $99.99. Here is a picture of what it looks like.

Does anyone know where I could get a drivers side door skin or even a whole door for a 1954? I'm restoring a 1954 Clipper Deluxe 2 door and my skin is just filled with lead from an old repair.

Thanks,
David

Wow! I am surprised anyone is making sheetmetal like this. Wow again!

I don't know if it would be easy or not for people like C2Custom who are already fabricating, but man, would it be cool to be able to get good replacement trim moldings, either already chromed or at least smooth and ready to be chromed.

Seeing a whole trunk pan for $99 makes me think, "Wow, that's a good price for a big-a$$ chunk of metal. I wonder if the trim moldings, being so much smaller, would be lots cheaper. If so, I could see almost everyone with a non-show-ready Packard buying replacement trim on a regular basis."
