Location: Connecticut | mikes2nd - 2022-07-16 2:21 AM get schotts off ebay... dont get classic to current Schotts are vintage rockers made in the 60s. They are oversize and designed to slip over rusty panels. You do not want these unless you want to cut them down and re-bend them so that they will fit reasonably well. Good welding skills are critical here. Ron |

| i didnt have to cut them down at all, saved me tons of work... just welded them in.
I threw the classic to current in the trash(after i salvaged them for small patch panels)... no ends stamped in, angles were way off...
The Schotts are not overlays man, I compared closely and Schott doesnt make any "overlays" anymore.
I visited the stamping plant man I watched them stamp parts, they dont make "overlays" since the 80's.
They are more into chevies and mustangs and s**t because they sell a ton of it. They still have a lot of weird crap( like 70's vans and stuff when vans were hot).
