Anyone have any experience with these pans? I'm looking at a 57 Seville where the passenger side floor is pretty gone, and these would make things å lot easier if they're somewhat decent.

Hello Henning,
I would say these are better than nothing. I am going to use them in my 1956 ambulance. If I was restoring a 1956 Eldorado convertible I would try to find floors out of a coupe or four door to use or pay a fabricator to make them. The beads that are pressed into the pans are not as deep or the same as the factory.

I would suggest you make your own. I made mine for my 57 Biarritz fronts and they were relatively straightforward on a pan brake and a deep throat bead roller. I made them out of thicker 1.2 zincaneal which did make putting the bead rolls in a bit harder but they came out great . The repops may be cheap for starters but you may spend a lot of time getting them to look factory.
A mate bought repro pans for his 53. We threw them away they were not even close.
