30 April
Received my 1st new piece of sheet metal today, not impressed at all. The valleys were high and the mountains were low, to the tune of about 1/3 the original sheet metal. I won't buy from that company again.
Who do you guys purchase your sheet metal from when you need it ?

Didn't want to criticize anybody but now that you ask. It was from Mac's and it was a complete front floor section, runs from the seat to the toe boards. I just expected better.

Dave at Direct is good people and I strongly suggest you give him a try if your in the need for firewalls or floor kits. Known Dave for about 20 years now and he's a stand up guy and does a lot for the Hot Rod community!duplicate account

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Well Here's an update too my 40. I got the rear installed and started the cross member section of the frame.
