Anybody have any suggestions about which companies patch panels work best with the least mods. Everything except the front foot Wells appear to be salvageable.

For floor pans Autobody Specialties in Meridian CT has the floorpans. Yes, they require a bit of trimming mostly at the rocker panels. I was pleased with the fit in my 65 wagon
 
I got some external panels from Laysons that fit nicely. They probably have floor pans too.

Early A's are different and not available from Classic as far as I know. ABS is the only one I know of that has decent quality floor pans for the '66 and older A's. Even theirs need to be messaged a bit, but, they fit pretty good.

Right you are 63-65 B body. I didn't look close enough. Thanks for the correction. Always good to get the right info out there.
 
Looks better than what I started with on my wagon.

I'm using the Auto Body Specialties pans and they're pretty good. Need a bit of trimming and pushing around but they're getting the job done.

Still a work in progress. Just be aware that if you have to cut beyond the long rolled bead located under the seat you have to fab that up yourself.
 
I put the auto body specialties pans in my 64 dart sedan. Fit well, required some trimming as expected. Everything lined up very well.

I used their lower quarter panel patches with modifications for the 65 Valiant hardtop to repair the same areas in my wagon. The wagons are somewhat longer at the wheelwell so i needed to extend their repair panel to fit.

Thanks to everyone for the tips and pics.ordered the front panels last night. Very glad I joined this forum. The knowledge and experience here is going to be invaluable to me. I live in the middle of nowhere in northern mi. and am doing this by myself so its encouraging to have help at the touch of a button. Thanks again
