1933 Plymouth Coupe Repair panels - Help

I am looking at buying a '33 Plymouth Coupe body that needs some big tlc.

I was looking for repair panels and was pointed to Riley Reproductions but it would seem they are no longer as their site is down.

Can anyone recommend a good supplier of repro panels..... at first glance it looks like the key areas I need are both sills and the boot floor.

Any help or pointers appreciated.

Riley is the only one I know of. Not the greatest panels if your a picky bodyman. The only panels I have seen made are cowl bottom, rocker, and quarter patch. The plymouth doctor has cowl, rocker, door bottom, and cab corners for the truck. I have a couple coupes that are completely cut apart(not by me)for this exact reason. My opinion if you can't make stuff yourself or afford to pay some one else then buy a Ford.

 

Thanks guys, if I am unable to get the panels needed I am more than happy to make them, I will just need the correct measurements etc.

Sadly over here in the UK there are not a great deal of metal bodies left/available and I would love to save this rather than go the fibreglass route

 

Ah.. we are talking steel.. Thank heavens for that. (I replied to your intro post).
Mart.

 

riley was still there in october

 

FYI - The Riley site is back up and running.

Phew, I need to send him a few pics of the body so he can confirm his panels cover the areas I need.

Thanks

 

Is PlyDo out of business? They used to have some body panels.

 

Here's some work I did on a '33-'34 Plymouth a couple years ago.

Thanks guys................

Richard, thanks, just reading through your thread now

 

I hope not. I'm planning on buying some parts from them, hopefuly come summer. Last time I talkd to the man there he said they were working on reproducing a steel trunk lid I need badly. But, that's been some tme ago.

 

does anyone have a catalogue in a format they could email to me?

 

Hre's a bit more, that project is on hold:

The Plymouth Doctor has body parts; not the fastest guy in the world, though. www.theplymouthdoctor.com.

 

Yes he died and no one in the family had any interest in continuing the buisness. He was a great guy to deal with but all of his parts were full price. I heard a rumor but don't know if its true that Dodge City Trucks bought his inventory.
