Bed Panels

what is the best bed side panels for the money? Seen the www.showcars-bodyparts.com/ website but haven't read the best reviews. So where can I buy bed sides or what is the easiest way to make them or redo them. I have an 87 pickuo if that helps. Thanks and God Bless

Are you talking interior bed panels? or exterior bed sides?

From what they say Cory's stuff is awesome. Problem is, as far as a new bed for my '87 goes, there is a 2 year waiting list. I wonder if the waiting list on outer bed panels is that backed up as well?

My understanding is that Cory works one customer at a time.
You put a deposit down and get a "number" in the line.
When your number comes up - he works / makes what you wanted to order.
And then to the next in line....

So - as I understand it - its all that backed up

From what I understand, Cory is 2.5 years or so backed up and has stopped taking orders for a year or so. Terrible timing for me, but it is what it is.

hey guys ..
Yes .. I have stopped taking orders for a year .. (started march 2017)
my shop is currently BOOKED with deposits for 2 years right now . my problem , is where I live , I just cant find the workforce I need , + the property values are just stupid ,not enabling me to expand into a larger facility . (retirement community)
I was a single Dad , raising my son by myself , this is why I was not able to relocate , but now he has moved on to university , and I have nothing holding me in this location anymore .

I am currently in "negotiations" for a much LARGER shop with property . the NEW larger location will enable me to ramp up production , hopefully finding the help I need .

I will be posting when it comes together ..
