Classic 2 Current Fabrication
« on: March 04, 2010, 05:25:29 PM »
I'm contemplating buying floors and rockers from Classic 2 Current Fabrication for my 61 Fleetwood.  Has anyone bought from them in the past?  How were the results.  I know it won't be the biggest purchase for the car, but at $420, I want to make sure I'm getting good materials.

I haven't had any experience with them but I would ask that they send some photos of what you are going to get. Unfortunately, many of these places do not make them with the exact patterns of the originals in your car. Rockers I don't think there will be a problem but the floor pans do have ribbing, access holes and seat belt attaching nuts. I don't know if they pay attention to these things and it would be wise if you asked.

Good luck.

Dan, Dan, Dan you should know by now where to look for specialty vendors.

Go to "The List" and look for Classic Fabrication. They specialize in repro floor pans and rocker panels.

Never mind. Here's the link:

Otto, Otto, Otto.  I know about the list and I've heard about Classic Fabrication.  I've opted not to go with them based on feedback I've received in other forums.  C2C seems to have a pretty good warranty policy and the prices seem more reasonable.  Just wanted to check if others have had positive experiences with them, that's all.

Just wanted to update everyone on my experience with Classic 2 Current Fabrication.  I finally got arount to dry fitting today and the parts fit well.  Being aftermarket, some bending and tweaking is expected but overall, the fit is very good and cover more than I thought they would.  The lines in them aren't exact copies of the original, nor are there the cutouts for the screw down rubber plug (not sure why it's there anyway - perhaps to cause rust), but in all, for a hand made recreation, they're very good.  The rears, one won't be able to tell at all.

For what it's worth, I'd highly recommend them and use them again.

Just to clarify, classic to current fabrication and classic fabrication are different companies. I have used classic fabrication before and i found there parts to be very good and very stout. That was my experience. Thanks, brian.
