Have been looking for a couple of months now and have not run across fenders, need both uppers and lowers along with floor pans.....yes, the front parts are the worse but the rest is not far behind also would like rear quarters/wheel openings and rockers..........could use flat plate for the floor boards BUT would not be very happy

I got this pic of front fender patch panels. In AU Looks like 100 a panel. I'm going to do some investigating. The image is upside down.

Well I ordered these today. As well as a section of the chrome rain gutter trim. We will see what they come back on as far as shipping. I've got calls out to 3 sheet metal manufactures. Someone is bound to step up to the plate and make these parts for us at a reasonable price.

Rear quarter panel. I just don't think it has the rear corner.

Beggers cannot be chooser. lol.

This is the first I have heard of any sheetmetal that I can actually talk with someone and they can give me a date. The front patch panels are about 130 and the shipping quote was 69 dollars. Thats not bad. I'm checking on the rears and prices if bought in bulk.

Hello there
I have been doing my homework on the different panels for the 55 and have come to the conclusion that all of these can be made here. I have decided to start production in a month or so. All panels and floorboards.

Sounds great. I will definetly be ordering the corners and floorboards. If I can just have those sections.

I have finished the order for the patch panels from the AU site. Looks like around $270 for the 2 front patch panels and 2 rear quarter panels. Shipping was 95 dollars. Not bad at all. They will not be ready to ship until mid feb. So I'm looking at march before I see anything.

Ehsan, thanks for the follow-up; there are many pig ownwers that will be very gratefull for your panels/parts, there are only so many that can be used as donors and the pool is getting smaller and smaller; witness my 6 month search for parts w/o much success!!;

floorboards

I'm definitely interested in getting the floorboards for both driver and passenger. I was just wondering if you're planning on making that transition piece where the front floor raises up for the rear bed area. Mine is rotten out pretty good in the corners close to the rear doors on both sides.

Please post a pic or a diagram to explain what you mean. We are currently locating a vehicle to get replicas made off.

I also found a possible source for the rear tailgate skin today and all the rubber moulding for it including the felt channel.. Hopefully they will contact me this week.

I need front fender and rear quarter patches. Also need rear floorboard where it meets the back seats. Probably can get by without the rockers and with a little fiberglass. That's it so far, but that's all I can see so far too!

EDIT...I need the back corners too. UGH.

I need the outer edges of the floor pan, all the way around as well as rear quarters. Looking forward to what Eshan turnes out as always.

Here´s what I have...
I can reproduce ANYTHING out of metal on this car..
I need somebody to step up to this with money, I will not reproduce these parts without money upfront..
I´m sure you fella´s appreciate the time and effort involved in reproducing these parts perfectly
Its up to you.
I am certainly not getting into a competion with Eshan, If he want´s to help out you guys with this, then thats very good of him. I personally require a sizeable order to even think about tooling up for these parts.
Sorry if I am comming across a bit of a dick but I`m trying to be straight up.
Paul

At the moment I only have this fj55 with Ambulance doors, so there will be differences on the rear sill and uppers compared to fj55`s with tailgates.
Regards.
