VintageIronage Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Hello and thanks for taking time to read this. Does any one know of a source for sheetmetal fo the trunk floor and rear rocker ( valance panel behind the rear bumper that attaches to the trunk floor ) for a 1938 Buick Special Touring Sedan? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCHinson Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 I would suggest you contact Dave Tacheny. He probably has a good parts car that he could furnish that from. You can best reach him between 4 and 7 pm Central at 763-427-3460. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Biggs Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 You might look at Kemp Rod and Restoration on ebay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmTee Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 If I'm thinking of the correct pieces based on your description, much of them are flat or nearly so, which could be fabricated by someone with basic sheetmetal skills. Are you primarily looking for pieces for the jack/tool tray area and valance below the trunk lid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VintageIronage Posted July 24 Author Share Posted July 24 Thanks for all your replies, I reached out to Dave Tacheny, he has no trunk or rear valance panels, I've seen Kemps products, $$$$. EmTee, you are right, the trunk floor could be done with flat sheetmetal, the valance is a different story as is the tool tray, if I could get those pieces I could fabricate the trunk floor.

Norman Biggs Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Yes Kemp is high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmTee Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Maybe this could be 'tweaked' since you have a 40-Series car. https://www.hotrodssheetmetal.com/191chtrseems.html https://www.hotrodssheetmetal.com/191chtrflex1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VintageIronage Posted July 25 Author Share Posted July 25 Thanks EmTee, I will contact them and see if they have dimensions for those parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmTee Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Even if the overall dimensions are different you may be able to cut pieces from them to restore the damaged areas on your original panels. They'll still be a lot closer to what you need than a flat sheet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
