New Body Panels

Post by drieseck »

All, If your rust is beyond looking cool, and you are looking for rust repair I just discovered these guys go to: www.alfaparts.net they are Wolf Steel in Ontario, Canada.

20 gage steel, quarters, and more, very quick, and reasonable. Talk to Robin

They don't have the best reputation for their 510 parts:

From what I can find, nobody that has used them has reported a positive experience.

I've never seen or used the Wolf panels, but even the Alfa guys don't seem to like them on their cars. Too thin.

Anyone know what the proper Gage metal should be for floor panels and fenders?

I replaced my floors with 18 ga and the rockers with 20 ga. I think the original rockers were 22ga and the floors were 20ga.
