Re: [AMC-list] 64-69 American/SC-Rambler floor pans

Near as I can tell from the contacts I have chatted wit the guy 
will make pans for anything you can get him a sample from. 
He's trying to build up a good representation of pans for the
less common cars.

  The pans look OK, they appear to be bead rolled to get the proper
beads and indentations, not sure if they are pressed or rolled.
The edges appear to be where they are lacking, the better pans 
have a true curved edge and corners. These are slit in the 
corner and have more of a brake formed "curve".

That being said, I'll be they beat trying to make your own!

I spent last night working in the American. Got the 1/4 glass 
in and both 1/4s sound deadened and put back together.
Today the pain won and I had to surrender and quit :(
This is going to take forever at this rate :(
I'm hoping things will calm down and I can get a little
done tomorrow.

" The person selling these has both floor pan applications for

" 
" For those with 68's, take a look at the underside of the car before

" the 69 pans.

are they really different?

i just talked to a vendor who carries them, at the 4seasons rambler
annual / amcrc nat concours show in sturbridge.  he says the initial
listing was '63-8 and he had a hard time trying to straighten the guy
out.  he also had a pair there - $60, he says - and said that while
they're definitely better and cheaper than you could do yourself, the
javelin repro pans that have been out for a while are miles ahead in
quality.

off topic - also at the show, talked to a '67 marlin owner from nj who
said he took one apart that had vin #2551, and the owner said it'd been
special-ordered in july '67 and came with a '68 mirror.  my guy saved
the vin plate but didn't really register its significance until later.
