Replacement floorboards - group interest?

rsrai · 12-22-05, 01:00 PM

does anyone make replacement floorboards? I took the seats and such out and pressure washed the gunk out, and it looks like the floorboard has three sections, my front floorboard needs to be replaced due to rust. does anyone make a replacement? if not, how much have some of you that dont have the welding skills to do it yourself paid to get it replaced with sheetmetal?

also for the fenders, my front drivers side has a huge rust hole, is it cheaper to have someone cut and weld or replace?

If you guys can get together and give me a group order, i'll stick it all in a container..if not DHL are charging me $1.38 a kilo.plus. look at about $50-70 for a authorised crate, (ie 25 kilos $180) ..no idea on prices yet, but they will be reasonable.

surfpig · 12-23-05, 06:01 PM

Pics?

rsrai · 12-23-05, 10:10 PM

absolutely interested.....any leads on fenders?

BushBoy · 12-24-05, 02:28 AM

the cruiser wreckers near me have front lower fender replacement pieces, that just need welding in, i'm not sure of the prices or how excately they were made, but i'd already finished my patchwork by the time i'd discovered these, and would be heaps easier to weld in without getting heat distortion like i did, because of the shape. So maybe you guys in the us could get together and get something like that made up in bulk, i'll give the guy at the wreckers a call if you'd like to get more info.

I'm in for front floor board replacements...pass & driver.

Let me know.

lingo · 12-28-05, 06:33 AM

Depending on pricing i could probably swing floor boards. Might be interested in fenders, too.

Yes! Keep me posted! There is a gaping hole on driver's side.

chalmic · 01-10-06, 09:15 PM

I would be interested and like to find out more. I am about to get my holes welded in the next few weeks.
Will look for more details soon.
Thanks,

Will you also include the brackets for the mounts? Let me know if you produce these.

THanks,

Yep, I could use a couple of those, too...

Trapper50cal · 01-20-06, 10:46 AM

PV website has fenders.

What I'm sure all of us need is Rear Quarter repair panels.

Although I also need floor board for driverside and 2 front lower
fenders. maybe a driverside upper. depends on if i can bend the old one back.

to Panama!
Get down with your bad selves!

Paul,

YOU ARE THE MAN! I just looked at the samples you posted and they are fricken AWESOME! Do you have a website up so we can look at other items from your line? Also many of us pig owners need tailgate replacements or sheet metal to patch up the areas that rust out.

Keep up the good work.

rsrai · 02-06-06, 10:21 AM

any progress on the floorboards? just checking in...

Wayneraintree · 02-07-06, 11:55 AM

did someone say rear quarters???

lomusass · 02-07-06, 12:04 PM

Guys...how about group buys..I can make it work much better and cheaper that way..Progress right now is non existent, up to the knackers so to speak.with the 40 stuff ...But the 55 sits in the shop.

mtnpig · 02-28-06, 07:25 PM

so whats the story I was away from the board for a while and found this tread and noticed that there wasn't any action since in over 3 weeks... was it moved? is there any group buy in the near future?

LXCRSR · 03-06-06, 12:31 PM

Depending on price, I am interested in floor boards and fenders.

usmcruiser · 03-17-06, 04:45 PM

I am interested. What are we looking at price wise?

rsrai · 03-18-06, 12:36 PM

im very interested as well, lets get this going

lomusass · 03-18-06, 01:25 PM

Gents,
To be honest with you i have done nothing apart from move the 55 around the shop..I can do them that's not a problem. It's just a matter of when, I've been checking in to see the interest and i can see there is so i¡ll get my s%&" together and start working on it.
Paul.

rsrai · 03-19-06, 12:07 AM
