Hi,
Whom can you suggest as a suitable source for acquiring body and floor panels for a 1966 Coupe in the United Kingdom? Are there potential concerns or factors that one should exercise caution towards?


Good luck

Two potential options for specialized services related to classic Ford Mustangs in the northern region are Chilimoto Chilimoto Speed Shop and Mustang Maniac.

One notable aspect is that these panels are manufactured in the Far East and often fail to meet original equipment manufacturer (OEM) standards. However, if one encounters better quality alternatives, it is advisable to choose for these instead of inexpensive options.

Currently, there is a significant scarcity of panel stocks on the global market. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a significant surge in demand from those on furlough in the United States, coupled with supply shortages resulting from factory closures and challenges in shipping logistics. The current inquiry is with the availability of panels, rather than the option to choose their source. Best wishes in your pursuit of locating them.

Greetings.

Currently, Chillimoto does not own any available inventory. However, there are a few other establishments that have yet to be explored. I have received a quotation of £400 from a supplier in the United States for the acquisition of two half floor pans.

I own a set of floor full-length pans, consisting of both a left and right pan. The item is in a new condition, but some superficial rust. The objects in question do not exhibit signs of rust. The observed rust is limited to the outermost layer. The price of the pair is £200, and it is available for collection only. The shipment of the item will not be facilitated, and any conversation pertaining to the process of shipping will not be entertained. I am now in close proximity to Colchester, without the assistance of a courier. The subject of discussion is Essex.

I express my gratitude for your assistance.

It is unfortunate that such circumstances have arisen. As an individual located in Derby, I would have readily availed myself of the opportunity at hand, given the price offered.

I have sent you a message.

At the given price, it is seen to be a worthwhile excursion for a day.

Thank you for your response. I anticipate our meeting to take place within the next three weeks. Greetings
