Where does everyone buy their panels?

[Furyof4]

I need to purchase an entire floor section and boot floor as well as some other panels. Where would you guysrecommend I get them from? I'm just starting to look around at my options and have only found a few prices online. I have not called anyone yet as I have to scrape some funds together first.

So, if you have had any good or bad experiences with certain vendors please let me know.

Thanks.

i bought mini at minimania because there was a 15% off sale. i didn't have any problems with the panels. the only problem i had was with the seam covers for the back that didn't fit the curvature of my car (probably ordered the wrong year). i haven't followed up with it yet because I dont have the car back together yet.

Fury, talk to Gunnar, on this board, (Minimogul). He does full body restorations as a business. He knows where to get the best deals on panels and how best to repair rusted areas. BTW, his customer's cars are show winners. He knows his stuff, and is friendly/helpful.

Thanks guys, I'll pm Gunnar when Im ready.

Its a little confusing looking at all the venders parts catalog. They don't all offer the same panels.

So far I need the entire floor, floor crossmember, entire boot floor, both sills, inner and outer a panels, boot hinge panel, rear valance, rear light panel and a few patches here and there. Im not too psyched about it, lol.
