So, I've got a guy trying to sell me a '65 Mustang (original A code coupe) that has some rust issues. The floor pans have some rust, the rear quarters are fairly rusted, and the passenger side rear torque box has some rust. This last place concerns me some, but everything else with the car appears solid. Now my question for all you knowledgeable folk out there are; Who/which manufacturer do you use for you replacement panels? Can I get a replacement piece for the aforementioned torque box? And finally, what else can/should be done about the torque box if their isn't a replacement part available for it?

I'm just trying to size up my options and the cost to fix the rust, before I commit myself to buying it. He's selling the car at a fairly reasonable price (for what it is), and I'm fairly certain he'll go lower on it.

Edit: I meant to say it is an original C code car not an A code. It's bone stock and I'd be the second owner.

I just bought a bunch of replacement parts for my '67 coupe from mustangs plus. They had good prices and so far I have been very happy with their products. I've bought things such as rear torque boxes, front torque box, frame rails, fender panels, floor pans, etc. I restored a '69 F100 and had to make a lot of body panels but for these mustangs you can get any little piece you want.

My grandfather has replaced his floor pans and a couple other things, and he ordered from multiple places. He told me and my dad that it seemed like every place got their sheet metal parts from the same manufacturer.

Would still like to know who you all prefer for your replacement panels and such. Who has the best fit, and that kind of thing.

As BA said above, all of the sheet metal seems to be made by the same manufacture, just shop around for the best prices. An, there are replacement torque boxes made for both sides if you need them.

Ok, I was just curious because I've heard people mention having fitment problems after ordering from one place and then having to get a better piece from somewhere else.
