Looking to buy and replace the rear pan and side longitude (?) panels. Anyone know the best place to buy and find "How To" articles?
Thanks, Jim

356 Registry for how to. Stoddard is a highly rated vendor and I'd say they would be an excellent vendor to buy from (I've known the current owner, an enthusiast, more a dozen years).

replacing metal
Get a copy of Ron Roland's book http://blocks-books.com/BLOCKS-BOOKS/9781426907180.html You can buy the metal you need from multiple sources. Zim's autotechnic,Stoddard,Restorationn Design, etc.

I've bought sheet metal panels from Restoration Design and recommend them. I used their pan in my 356A sunroof coupe and the longitudinals in my 356 Carrera. I did the pan myself following the directions in an article in the 356 Registry and it worked really well.
