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

The pic doesn't look like my floor, but I thought maybe it was just the wrong pic. I've emailed a question, but being impatient by nature, I thought I'd do some asking here in the meantime...
Thanks, Kelly

Believe several that have used their products (also available for other years) mentioned they are a generic pan and there is a lot of customizing needed. Some cutting required and some bends not quite right but generally serviceable. About the only ready made option available and a good starting point.

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.

going there now. Thanks BigKev

Has anyone triedhttp://www.rockauto.com ?

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

Wow, BigKev, spent the last few hours on your blog! Fantastic work on the car and the blog. Thanks for all your effort. I think you'll make my resto much easier.

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.
