Replacement panels?
 

I need replacement panels for my '63 rag. Quarter panels, heater channels, ect.. Good place to buy?:confused:

Have you look at cip1? They are right there in Blaine,WA and Langley, BC. I'm happy with parts i've got through them.

THANK YOU! Thought i'd never get an answer, thanks! I'll give them a look, gotta beat the prices of parts and shipping at EIS, those bastards are off the hook expensive. You ever run for prezident of anything, i'll vote for ya!:D

did you look at mid america motorworks? they have 3 different thicknesses of floor pans and danish heater channels that are thicker than most others

Thanks guys, I ordered from cip1. Not to happy with the quility though. The heater channels are not what I would call a "finnished" product. I'll have to do some welding to clean up the unfinnished parts of these pieces. I also bought a replacement panel for the battery tray. WTF? It was less a stamping than something that looked as though a monkey with a pair of pliers went at the damn thing. I'm not going to be able to use it, it's just that bad! Hell, it's not even worth sending back. Hopefully there are companies out there that actually sell good parts. If I find one, I'll let you know.

Have you tried asking Bow-wow or Ovals Motorsports? Ovals is in the federal way area.

Some of the sheet metal stampings these days are not that great. There are alot of places that sell replacement panels. Most are bought from one manufacturer, but some companys pay extra to hand pick the ones they want to sell (passing higher price on to you). Some companys don't pick through them. It's a gamble sometimes when shopping for sheet metal. Sorry you got some of the bad ones.

thats why i hand pick the metal i buy (where possible)... i scored a factory front apron for my 74 super at a swap meet, it evan had the VW/Audi part number sticker on it! Fit PERFECTLY! Original metal is always better (fenders, hoods...ect). but sometimes the only thing around for certain sections is the cheap crap.

Yeah, it bites having to roll the dice. Live and learn. When I have the panels installed, I'll let you all know how they fit.
