Sheet metal buds benz or k&k (any others)
« on: May 21, 2014, 02:45:33 »
I am restoring a 69 280sl and replacing all floor peices, quarter pannels, firewall etc.
Do you guys recommend parts from k&k or buds benz? Open to any other reputable vendors.

Thanks

To my knowledge K&K is the source.  They are the only ones making these panels.

I've had excellent luck with the K&K panels. I've replaced all Floor pans, both fenders and quarter panel skins as well as front and rear panels. The fit was excellent. Learned a lesson about removing the primer that comes on the panels (strip it before epoxy primer) but other than that product and service has been great.
