Kramer automotive specialties list sheet metal (trunk floor/floor pans) for the '62 Plymouth and Dodges. Anyone have any experience with them or these pieces? I don't know who manufactures the sheet metal and didn't know if it's garbage or decent.

If it comes out of Jim's business it will be top notch, enough said... twocents

I believe AMD produced them for Jim.

Any experience with them? Yes, but not in the way you're asking. Have to say, they are great people to do work FOR! That included designing their logo and some web graphics they use... grin

Bottom line, they are a class act. up

I bought a '69 'Cuda off Jim that was completely disassembled. At the time i picked it up he couldn't find all the parts for it, he promised to send them to me as he found them. I was a little skeptical and thought I'd never see those parts but to my surprise in the weeks following I kept getting packages in the mail with the parts. Jim Kramer shipped ALL the missing parts to my house as promised. The Kramer's are great people and you can trust them. He is an AMD dealer.

I've bought t-shirts online from them and the communication was good. Shirts arrived quickly and were of great quality.

If you're fixing an early B body, Jim Kramer should be your first stop! When I was doing my 64 Belvedere wagon, he helped me a bunch. Absolutely top notch folks to deal with. up

I have a slightly different opinion here .....

Ole JK was (still is ?) famous for beating up his suppliers ......

Happened to me .... also I gave him quite a few over stocked parts on consignment .,., never got DIME ONE from him tsk

They are at the MCACN show in Chicago this weekend, so if you are trying to het a hold of them it will probably be early next week.

I've bought a few things from them and excellent service. The fuel sending unit I bought from them 4 years ago works great and still reads accurate. Top notch business.

Nothing bad to say..

I bought from them extensively back 2008-2012 restoring our '65 Satellite, from trunk pan, rear quarter patch panels, to firewall gaskets, steering column rebuild kit, various decals, etc.
The parts were costly, but they had exactly what I needed for the pre-66 car, some one-year-only parts.

Everything went smoothly.
Cheers,

It awesome to hear that there are still places like this around. Someone who's honest and customer focused with the parts you need.

Thanks to all for the information.
