I saw this listing on ebay, and wondered if anybody has experience with this vendor? Classic to Classic Fabrications out of Detroit.

I've emailed a question, but being impatient by nature, I thought I'd do some asking here in the meantime... Thanks, Kelly

thanks for your input. I'm used to some re-working. Still better than trying to patch the swiss cheese...

I used their front floor pans in my '54. The issue is these are made with metal brake and rolling dies. So the bends are very sharp and angular as opposed to the factory pans that were stampings and have a lot more smooth curvature in the bends.
The are the right "general" shape and are workable, but for sure are not 'drop-in' replacement pans. An air hammer will be needed to get them to lay in flat, and trimming will be needed to get them to even fit at all. These will get you about 75% of the way there, you will have to provide the other 25%. Check out my blog for more info as my front floors were completely rotten.

RockAuto is just reselling the pans from from the C2C guys. Same pans, same issues.

I'm glad that you found it useful. That is really the intent of the project blogs; to learn what I have learned, and avoid the mistakes that I have made.
