Has anyone tried Classic? How's the fit? The web site looks ok.
Thanks,

I got my end panel, rear floor, wheelhouses, rocker repair panels, and mid-floor riser from classic enterprises...and while I haven't started welding the panels in everything appears to be correct with the parts. The folks at classict ent. are good people to work with and seem to truly care about the quality of their product and timely delivery. Because of a kind of mutual lack of communications when I ordered they ended up sending me an end panel that was not drilled for tail lights and did not include the tail light brackets. One call to Classic Ent. had two light surrounds enroute at no additional cost for either parts or shipping. I just wish they carried side panels...but then again....I'm going to be happy with my salvaged sides if its the last thing I do.
And regarding the use of a body hammer....I thought jeeps were supposed to.....and might even have to......have a few dings here and there...by law? Right now I'm going to be real happy just not to have a tub full of holes and cracks......but if I can't help myself later on I do have a set of hammers and dollies....so look out dings.

Here is another company that used to make very good parts. Wild Country. Anybody heard of them lately? They made a great M38A1 battery box that looked factory.
