Jeep Cj8 replacement floor pans and body panels

Could you post a pic with your top off to see top lip. Curious as well. The wheel well opening detail is where my problem is. Been looking at it all summer.
 
I was leary on these side panels, but I have to say... they are pretty close.
A lot more so then what comes on the tubs... which is confusing to me, but perhaps they revamped the process.
The upper part was/is a concern on the tubs.
It wasn't "crisp"... it was more rounded to me compared to the original piece.

So I bought a side as I will need it in the future and compared... pretty crisp edges and sizing looks good.
Wheel well lip is in proportion as well.

Overall I think it is far better starting point than what I have.

Panels are flat too... the tub sides from them usually are wavy and look like they are hammered... these look like they came out of a press.

Did the same thing CB. Purchased one for the worst side..was a little leary even as I scrutinized the pics. Just received and am pretty happy. Little dinged from shipping but can be worked out.
Not sure if I will do the bed first or keep with the quarter panel routine.

Same panels that I just finished using on both side. Really happy with the results. With a mic they were actually a hair thicker than the original tub. If you need wheel wells or any of the bed or supports Classic Enterprises can’t be beat

agreed, I have only ever used Classic for all the parts you mentioned... but they never made the sides... these sides I think can be used now.

I was putting together a list to "make a tub from scratch" type of idea... in a jig, clamp it up, then weld it.
I think it is possible if you have a firewall and a good cowl... but it is somewhat cost prohibitive.

I was up over $5K for all the parts in my analysis.
