40 Ford Replacement Panel
 

Anyone had any experience with the under the deck lid panel for 40 coupes made by United Pacific?

Re: 40 Ford Replacement Panel
 

Their floors are a good fit so the panel should be also.
I've had good experiences with Drakes and Carpenters under trunk panels - never tried EMS.

Re: 40 Ford Replacement Panel
 

Haven’t heard much good about the EMS panels. Drake and Carpenter is out of stock on them.

Re: 40 Ford Replacement Panel
 

Everything I've bought from United Pacific to date has fit perfectly.

Re: 40 Ford Replacement Panel
 

HUGE difference in both quality and fit when comparing EMS and United Pacific stuff. DD

Re: 40 Ford Replacement Panel
 

Not a '40, but my friend used UP quarters and floor in his rough 32 coupe, he was very happy with the way they fit.

Re: 40 Ford Replacement Panel
 

Excellent. They probably provide the panel for Drake and Carpenter. I just finished using one of there panels and was extremely please with the quality, fit and price. What more can I say ?

Re: 40 Ford Replacement Panel
 

What more can you say?
Website address? Phone number?

Thanks!

Ken...Here's the WWW catalog page for that United Pacific below-trunk panel with phone number, etc. Their web site is difficult to find. Click the link below for the panel. Their entire FORD parts catalog starts at page 1 if you click on the second link below. DD

Thank you!

Re: 40 Ford Replacement Panel
 

UP has very good stufff for 32s - don’t know why 40 sheet metal would be any different quality wise!

Re: 40 Ford Replacement Panel
 

Thanks much guys. I'd ordered the tail pan a bit ago. I'll let ya know how it appears once it arrives.

Re: 40 Ford Replacement Panel
 

The one I got years ago from Drake had to really mess with it to get it right

Re: 40 Ford Replacement Panel
 

The panels I'd got from Drake (once he made them with the correct curves) had fit perfectly every time. Three of them as I recall - perhaps four. CRS.

Re: 40 Ford Replacement Panel
 

Received the pan today from Pacific. It's identical the pan Drake sold, um, that is - when he had them.

Kube, are you satisfied with the United Pacific tail pan, how it looks and fits?

Re: 40 Ford Replacement Panel
 

I wouldn't be surprised if the Drake , Carpenter , and United Pacific all come from the same factory in China. My understanding is the factory contract's have been requiring larger than demand production runs is why we have seen the discontinue of production by both Drake and Carpenter on many of the replacement body panels. United Pacific is the new player in the game trying to satisfy the factory

Re: 40 Ford Replacement Panel
 

I believe this pan is identical to Drake's. Even the box appears the same.
I've installed three, maybe four, of Drake's pans with great results.

Re: 40 Ford Replacement Panel
 

I would not be surprised if all the panels are from the same supplier who stepped up and had a lot made. Only makes sense.
