Heloo folks,
Has anyone used the aftermarket floor pans off eBay marketed by 'classicparts4u"? It looks like the basic shape is there and will need some massaging to be used. Good piece? Bad? Opinions please. Thanks!

Mark,

Ready my blog, I used these pans on my '54. They are the right "general" shape. But are not an exact drop in replacement. Some hammering, forming, and cutting will be needed for sure.

I just ordered a complete set, and the inner and outer rockers for use on my '53 Caribbean, so I'll try to post my impressions as well.

Richter,

I hope you start a project blog, so we can see your car project. Was that the 53 on Craigslist in Frisco?

their web site is www.classic2current.com they are out of Detroit. I have used their floor pans, inner, outer rockers, and rear fender patches. Pans are great to the basic shape, you will need to trim, cut and hammer for a perfect fit, once installed, they are just as solid as the original floor. the Rockers were an exact fit, and the rear quarters again basic shape, need to message. I don't think you can go wrong with their parts. Check between ebay and their web site, prices and shipping to differ between the two. I have ordered both off ebay and direct.

Good Luck

G'day Richter12x2,
to PackardInfo and for including your '53 Caribbean Convertible in the Packard Owner's Registry. Second Let the ride decide in your starting a Project Blog, love to follow along as you bring the Caribbean back.

I used them for replacing the rocker panels and floor boards on my 51 200. They are good and strong, and very affordable. Not an exact match, but easy enough to modify with body hammers and dollys.

It may have been - I picked it up off Craigslist from a guy in Flower Mound, along with a parts car. I'll definitely be documenting as I go - there's a lot of work to do. :D

I'll try to get a blog up soon.

Got the complete set of floor pans, trunk pans and inner and outer rocker panels in the mail Friday - good strong metal, and the front pans fit beautifully, as do the trunk pans

The under seat pans and rear pans, it wasn't immediately obvious to me how they went in, so maybe that portion is different on my car, or I just need to spend some time to figure it out. Same with the rocker panels, but again, I didn't spend a lot of time on it, still trying to get parts off the parts car.
