Location: Northern North Carolina		LOLOL @ "just came off the roll" and "in a large envelope". ;O
I've seen these pans on Ebay for a couple of years (haven't clicked the link, am assuming they might be the same $70 each pans always running on Epay). I never paid much attention, just saw them in a list and kept going, because I don't need floor pans in my '57 Belvedere. But since, in the back of my mind, there's always a plan for another Forward Look...which will probably be a fixer-upper.... I always thought "oh good, you can always find new floor pans here cheap".
Maybe not.

Location: Belgium, 40 miles south of Brussels		I know for a fact that the Classic Fabrications ones are indeed tin foil !
I ordered them and my bodyman said he could not do very much with them.

Location: Orlando		Are those from 'classicparts4u' or something like that on Ebay? Because I bought a couple of rear quarters from them and they are made of a very thin gauge, and are pretty low quality.

Location: Bama		Those don't look like Bob McGee's. His stuff was sturdy. No aftermarket metal is perfect.

Location: Parts Unknown		Thanks for the heads up.

Why would anyone waste their time making these out of thin metal except to
rip people off ?

Location: NY & VT		I've bought both - Bob McGee aka R/Car has the best imo... the classicparts4u aka Classic Fabrications, are crap. You get what you pay for, Bobs are over twice the price.

Location: Dallas,Ga.		Yes, I fell for some of those "classic parts 4U" rockers, five years ago. They suck, and were made from galvanized sheetmetal. Might as well have been tin gutter material! Although, I think I saw a post on the board somewhere, where someone bought one of the trunk floors from that guy, and had modest success with it. Caveat Emptor! --Z
