Best place to find sheetmetal?
Hey folks,
Just wondering where the best place to find some new sheet metal is. I need to do some repairs to my rear drivers side floor boards and not real sure where to even find sheet metal to use on it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank yas

Used to be one of the guys here made floor pieces. Have not seen him up for awhile, don't even know if he is still doing them or is able to anymore. Might have even passed on, but have not heard.
Check with a local welding or fabrication shop for a peice of 16-18 gauge sheet metal, won't be too expensive.
Janie could tell you if he is still with us.

That'd be Gary in NC. User name OBX-AUTOMOTIVE. But don't know if he's still building them though. If you PM him. Capslock is good to use his eyes are tired.

This is what I'm dealing with and where The damage is. Wasn't sure if a company makes them for this particular spot or not.
Spray in bed liner for the floor boards Here we come!!!... or as soon as this gets fixed lol

Don't know anyone that makes that part. Gary makes the floor pans where your feet go.
