I took a chance. I figure the carpet will cover it if looked like crap. It’s pretty thick and sturdy. Not sure how it will fit.

Sorry to hear about your luck, their stuff makes me value the parts cars I have scavenged.

The amount of work required to make that fit and look right I'd much rather put into repairing an original panel.

I suspect not many good original pans are around. I just want to cover the massive hole I now have. Carpet goes over it, so I’m not that concerned about how it looks. My Fury is driver grade.

I used them and they weren’t too bad. Maybe a bit thinner and weaker than they should be. Other parts such as quarter panels are on a whole different level simply put they are garbage.
 
The fact they are advertised as 19 gauge makes me wonder... Factory were closer to 18 gauge and I'd love to know what the hell 19 gauge is as it goes in even scales of 2..
 
it will work. nice thick metal , but the bead rolled areas aren't deep enough or in the correct places.

I put one of their trunk floors in a 59 Desoto. It was a pretty crappy piece but in the end it looked very good. Just took a lot of massaging.
 
For any "non-licensed" item, there will have to be "a difference" of some kind so it's not an exact match of the original item. However small the difference might be. Paint, sealer, and undercoat can cover-up many issues that might not be completely correct. Probably a better fix than some of the ways things used to be done? But this still does not mean that all such products are all bad, just some are worse than others? btaim

Just some thoughts,

The difference is more then "small"

If a company is going to the trouble to reproduce something, the least they could do is produce it correctly....

Here's both in the same angle... T stat for reference of depth...

Thanks for the pictures. I see the differences in the beads and such. Obviously, it's a non-licensed part, which can mean "somewhat close" rather than "exactly like the original". I would expect more precision and accuracy in outer Sheetmetal, though. We went through that sort of thing with the off-shore knock-off replacement sheetmetal back in the 1980s. Had to drill holes that weren't there on the replacement items, for example, plus "fit" issues, too. Some brands were better than others, by observation, even if they had an OEM-type primer on the metal.

Until somebody like AMD wants to license and reproduce sheet metal items, you either find a parts car or use your best judgment on the replacement items.

Doing the best I can. The attached photo shows the kind of Mickey Mouse redneckery I am dealing with and why a C2C piece is a big improvement for me. Photo is fricking sheet metal or tin and some screws that are way too long.

After pans, carpet. Along with carpet, I can fix my driver seat which I discovered has 1 bolt holding it in.

Where can you find better replacement panels? I need floorboards for sure and have been looking around for exterior panels too, to no avail.
 
Looks like a proper bead roller would take care of the C2C deficiencies. After all, they put the guidelines in for you already.
