Repair panels: anyone ever tried these?

Post by wc56daveyboy » Fri Mar 24, 2023 5:29 pm

I ask because most suppliers are only making the lower portion for the axe repair

Not the shovel as well, like this supplier.

The shovel indentation looks kinda shallow?

C and C equipment is a great company to deal with; talk to Scott. They just sell parts made by MDJ. I have used this part; it is what you see, for 80 dollars. The alternative is that Ron sells the complete sides. Front and rear sections.

I purchased 2 sets from epay that were green, different vendor and 1 was perfect and the other was stamped wrong.

I recently bought a set off that epay seller.

Haven’t started to fit the yet but the ‘look’ okay up against my late GPW body tub.

Will be interested to see feedback from other restorers

Cheers

They are MD JUAN who make the bodyshells. Been available many years, must be several hundred Jeeps with them fitted.
