    Since I have never done a 1934 coupe and only worked on Model As in the past, I have no information on replacement panels for a 34. Just for my own information, who makes floors or floor pans, lower cowl panel patches, inner & outer door bottoms and door skins, rockers and door openings, 1/4 panel patches, wheel well openings, rear quarter patches at the bottom next to the tail pans, replacement tail pans, trunk lids and or skins - anything related to repairing or replacing the usual rust & rot on the bottom of a 34 coupe. This might be a good thread to start and save for future 1st timers like myself :rolleyes: Thanks for any and all help. Steve

    3 or 5 window? Steve's Auto Restoration in Portland used to make a 3 window, might still have floor and patch panels.

    oops - forgot about that :confused: it's a 5 window coupe, and I did remember about the Sars 3 window but didn't know how much of the 3 vs 5 would swap out.

    Here is an example of a Donnie Smart panel that came with my car.

    Perfect quality, but you can't really pick up the phone and order one. The Steves panels I have seen are pretty damn good and the usually have them in stock.

    Good luck and keep us posted. I'd really like to see some pics of your car.

    That's Donnie Smart, not Jim Smart.

    Ok, so moving right along, I've looked up several of these guys and it seems like Donie Smart is the guy to see for the floor - anyone have contact information for him so I can follow up with a new floor for the coupe?
