STEEL pieces needed. (floor and wheel well areas)
« on: November 11, 2009 - 09:06:50 PM »
I need the following areas, as I'm redoing my floor and rails. I don't want to spend on new wheel wells, and honestly, I'm a bit overwhelmed when I think about taking them out along with everything else. I'd rather replace the rusty areas. I've attached two images showing the areas I need. Thanks so much.

Hello Brant:  Here is a sample bracket I made up for my car.  It is the driver's side bracket that fits between the frame rail and the floor.  I cannot say if it is an exact duplicate, as most of mine was rusted away, but I think it is pretty close.  It is formed out of 18-ga. steel.  Would you be able to post another couple pictures of some close-ups of your bracket?  I might be able to sell you this one, or make up another one.  I am considering fabricating & selling these if there is enough demand... I have not seen these in the aftermarket yet.  Thank you!, J-

If it's not too much of a hassle, a few more close-up pics would be great!  I'm working on that area of my car right now.  I'll figure out a price.  Do you need the passenger side as well, or is that one ok?  Have you found these in reproduction anywhere?  Thank you-

can't find them anywhere in reproduction. I cut the top piece off mine the other night. yours looks wonderful, the only thing I'd be worried about getting right would be the height. My floor is supposed to come in this weekend. If it does, i may be forced to make my own as well, so I can move forward.

I have really competitive pricing on the inner wheel tubs.  You could replace the entire inner tub with these or you could cut and patch if your would rather do it that way.

E-mail me for pricing if you are interested.  Remember, CC.com members get great discounts.

PS: I see that the picture of the inner wheel tub is from my cuda.  I actually patched these and had to make the bottoms of the trunk hinge supports (both sides) by hand.  It took me about 2 full weekends to do this.  I was very pleased with the results though.  I am glad that the pictures can help everyone.
