Came across some rocker panels on Summits website the other day, Sherman parts. Anybody ever use their stuff? They look nice in the picture, but really means nothing. They make a lot of reproduction sheetmetal. Just curious.
I use body metal fabricated by "c2cfabicators.com" in Detroit. I have had a lot of good luck with some high quality reproduction items including full size floor pans and quarter panels. Normbc9
Sherman and ***ociates is here in Michigan, on the east side of detroit. They have been around for a long time,30 years that I know of. Never used thier products but have never heard anything bad either. Wouldn't be surprised if c2cfab gets thier stuff from Sherman or IS Sherman. Edit: c2c fab is located in Redford Mich. So is TDM Metal stamping. They do a lot of prototype sheetmetal. I heard they do some resto type stuff as well. I work for Ford in Prototype. They do almost all of our metal. My bet would be it's TDM. Just a guess though.
RockAuto sells Sherman's stuff; i don't guess they'd carry it if it had a bad rap. i am looking at their shoebox rockers; they look pretty good in the pics. lucky as heck we can even get this stuff in ANY quality!
Wonder what gauge metal they're using? I saw c2c had floor panels too, just always skeptical when the price seems too good.
I have used Sherman parts for many years. They are more of a seller than a manufacturer. Most all of the older stuff I get from them is made somewhere else.. C2C Fab makes their own stuff. I have even picked them up from salesman. Out near the X-way. On his time. Their Hudson and Studebaker floor stuff. Tho a bit rough around the edges. Fits great and is heavy duty. Their compe***ors stuff was so bad. I don't think the designer/fabricator ever saw a Studebaker. I mean not even close..Plus his price was almost three times higher..C2C Studebaker inner/outer rockers were right on the money. EMS stuff fits also.
my cousin is a dealer for sherman products we sell their stuff all the time I just installed a pair of their can corner patch panels on a o/t pickup they fit great they also sell from their own website http://www.shermanparts.com/ecat/base/index.php you can buy direct from them and save the summit middleman thing if you were in detroit I could cut you a deal
Used Sherman sheet metal parts a few years back. As with any aftermarket parts a liitle finagling is needed, but overall very good. KK
