Sheet metal for 140's 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be harrisonpault on  Sun Nov 6 08:23 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Hello, this is my first post to the 140-160 forum, because I just acquired my first 142. It's got rust holes in the driver's side rockers, and rust in both rear wheel wells, including one perforation into the trunk. I am looking for new pieces of steel to weld in. Are there suppliers of these pieces, as there are for 1800s, or is this gonna be a fab-from-scratch or hunt-up-a-donor-car proposition? As a brick, things are pretty square, so fabrications seems plausible, even tho _I_ can't do it personally. She's my daily driver, so we're talking strong and quick here. Winter is coming and I'm in the salt-laden northeast.
