I purchased some floors from them, and basically wound up making my own from scratch with a bead roller. Take it for what it's worth...

I had the same experience with a set of floor pans for a 61 years ago.  A lot of work to make them fit, but I got them in.

I've used these guys in the past....I think anything you buy is going to need some tweeking...But all in all these were pretty good....

Thanks guys, c2cfab is charging $348,- shipping to the Netherlands for two pair of rocker panels . so that’s not going to work for me...

Need to find a good fabrication guy here I think...

It a better Job by far. Not difficult for a decent fabricator, and you can mimic the factory ribbing or get damn close to it with a bead roller. Good Luck!

When I have to replace sheet metal, I fabricate my own, whenever I can, as freight to down here is horrendous.

I replaced the whole floor of a '71 Eldorado Convertible, and did it in sections, using a bench for folding, a 14lb sledge hammer for forming, and convenient pieces of steel in different shapes for making formers.

It is surprising what can be done with a hammer and a dolly, heat and pressure to make "horrible" shapes.

The first pictures are of a piece I made to replace a section of the windscreen /cowl frame on a '69 SDV

The next lot are of the '71 floor sections.

Remanufacturing straight sills with a few bends and curves would be a pretty simple task for a sheetmetal man, or woman.
