SHEET METAL REPLACEMENT PARTS ? HELP
Permalink  
 

Hey All 

just wondering if anyone know where to get replacement sheet metal parts for a 1937 pontiac 4 door sedan 

I need rockers , inner wheel wells (rear) and floors 

I believe they are the same as the chev parts 

I can't find anywhere in Canada that has this stuff 

any help or direction or help would be great

Best advice I can give you is ..grab a sheet of steel from your local jobber and a couple Pieces of angle iron for a brake and make what you need..none of that is available off the shelf anymore..you will need to fabricate them ..lots of good advice and pictures on here or other sites of many guys who can show you what you need to know ..or you may have to farm the work to somebody who will do them for money ..but you will need to do a little leg work and look around for pics and ideas if you are not a sheet metal basher..none of these are hard to make ..floors are easy ,rockers are easy, rear wheel houses are easy..so three easy pieces..get to it ..never learn till you make a few mistakes..

Chuks right. You'll be hard pressed to find those parts. There is lots of info and guidance here. Start pounding or paying. but way more fun to learn/do it yourself.biggrin

Look up EMS products, I think Chev should be very similar. I believe there is a Canadian distributor. Would have to look in Old Autos to find it.

Thanks Fellas

I was figuring I was going to have to pound some metal , I was just hoping to find a time saver
but I guess I should be searching fabing tools rather then replacement parts

And the bible says........

Lead a car builder to a cataloge.....and he will buy a fender

Lead a car builder to metal fab tools....and he will build fenders for the rest of his life

or something like that......

just sayin
