Hot Rods 53 BelAir floor pan replacement options

My 53 Bel Air needs front and rear floor pans, trunk pan and the lower panel under the trunk. I could care less about it looking original so would those of you that have done it buy pans from a quality place, the cheapest place, or should I buy a bead roller and some sheet metal and build my own. If you choose buy pans, where would you buy them from? It needs inner and outer rockers as well but I am buying those and the rear panel as well. Personally I would rather buy the cheap ones but I don't want to make more work for myself on the back side.

I bought the cheaper floor pans and installed them myself. They look like I installed them. But they will work just fine. But I bought EMS rear quarters. The panel under the trunk and inner pan. Because they look and fit right. No I didn install that quarter panel.

 

I'm with 325W. I don't have a Chevy, but my pans look like I installed them (I'll grind off the boogers and cover it all up anyway, so who cares, right?). So I vote for the cheap ones.

And like he said, I ain't doing the quarter panels myself. A man's gotta know his limitations.

 

Kinda my thoughts also. You don't see them so who cares. I do want quality rockers and tail pan. Where did you buy your parts?
