    Has anyone had experience with this company and their parts?  will these 4 door rockers help much to make 1952 Coupe rockers?

    That's - http://www.c2cfabrication.com/index.php

    You'll need to decide for yourself.  I've gotten some floor pans from them (yet to be installed) - they're not too bad (will require modification) and the price was 'right'. 

    I know they make 'rockers', however have no idea as to how good they are.  Just take them for what they're worth - in any case, you'll probably need to 'massage' them (maybe more than a bit) to make them work/fit.

    ------------------------------------

    I also understand that there may be at least one forum member that either makes them, or had a 'batch' made - but that was quite some time ago, and I don't recall who it was...

    Lance Walker had some fiberglass rockers made. The repop company advertises 48 - 54 rockers... Actually 54 rockers and they fit 4 door and 2 door if cut. I have a set of the latter and the match my 54 exactly.

    Carl Webber, Stu Coleman and I'm sure Scott Crowder all have good used (Carl had NOS not too long ago) ones.

    I have a set for a '49 wasp coupe, I think these are to short. These came off of the coupe that was was made for Mario Adrtieeeeee (SP) coupe , as seen in the vedio.

    Vic...

    Original post was incorrect,,,, Ric West IN who posted is correct,,, the rocker panels are shorter for the Pmaker and Wasp, Body sizes are the same, front stub is differentiator.

    Happy new year Buddy!

    Are you sure.   Back 20 years ago I had sets of two different lengths.  Sold the short ones for pacemaker and Wasps. Never had any complaints.

    Ken C is not correct, the SWB rockers are 5 inches shorter. SWB and LWB rockers do not interchange it will be very obvious.
    . . .that's what Oldfarmer said, isn't it?
