lancemb Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 (edited) Anyone have a rust-free one? Is there an aftermarket one for another car that would fit? Edited June 18, 2017 by lancemb (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) I don't suppose 1957 Chevrolets would have the same thing as the small-bodied 1957 Buicks-- But if it's simply a sheet-metal fabrication, can't it be shaped from sheet metal?

It looks like 53-54 Chevy is very similar though and are reproduced so I am going to check dimensions. I am sure it could be formed somehow, but not easily and certainly not by me!

Guest Tri-shield Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Hi lancemb! Give these guys a call -> http://budsalvage.com/ Lots of old Buicks. They've helped me out. Also, they're heartily approved by our fearless Bugle editor, Pete Phillips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Scott Z Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Still need a spare tire well? I just removed the one from my '57. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott, Typically a response such as this one from someone with no other posts would appear to be from a scammer. As a moderator, I can see you email address and IP address. From a Google search, I can tell that you appear to actually have a modified 1957 Buick, so instead of immediately banning you , I am going to just ask that you please post a photo of the part in question in an attempt to make it easier for the two of you to be able to potentially help each other. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scott Z Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) Sorry. I did a quick google search for someone looking for a spare tire well. This thread was the top one. Here are some pics of the well. I drilled a couple spot welds then just cut the whole thing out. I am making a whole new floor at this point.

May not be relevant here, but the board's PM function wasn't fully working for a good part of the last few days. Specifically, you could read a message, but you couldn't reply.

lancemb Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 He did get back to me but then haven't heard back since. Not sure if he's just really busy or changed his mind. But until I have part in hand I'll keep looking because I've had plenty of situations like this before where I just never heard back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
