Anyone out there used Classic Industries Panels? I have heard AMD is the best , but wondered if anyone has used or would use again. Thanks in advance.

I wasn't aware they made any panels

I've used them, hit or miss on the quality, if i bought more i would pick them up at mopar nationals or something like that then u can inspect them, i ran into some of the stampings are off, and shipping can and usually means damaged stuff. i got some from stevens performance they go to most the meets and stuff, call in advance have them bring it and tell them you wanna look at them. do not buy from jegs i think they get seconds had problems with metal coming from there.

I just bought a front floor pan repair panel for my 64 Polara . I made it work but I gotta say i was expecting something a little better.

Classic is a broker. I always go to the supplier when I can. I much prefer to put money in the pocket of the person making the parts instead of some middle man. With a little research, you can usually find out who the supplier is.

That is strange. When I asked Classic Industries who made their sheet metal, they didn't know.

Cause some of them have know clue and are too lazy to ask their supervisors. All their Mopar sheet metal is AMD that’s their restorers choice metal. Their standard replacement is not. But if you’re just doing a lower quarter patch panel the standard is fine.
