Wolf only makes the pre '56 rear apron without exhaust cutouts, still waiting on his rear cross members under the back seat too, I've seen photos of seemingly perfectly made cross members but Wolf wont sell any till they are perfect!

Hi, thank you all for the kind words, really really nice to read.
And a big THANKS to all people that buy my panels so I can carry on with my "one man company".....I have the best job in the world 
It would be a dream come true to go to the Classic with my parts one year.
Regarding the crossmembers, unfortunately it takes little longer time than I was expecting, but hopfully I will be on them again during February.
here is a picture of the first ones, but Im not happy with them yet.

well, they are pressed in 2 steps, first step is ok, but in the second press it become some wrinkles in the corners, they acctually do not show in the picture abowe....and they are not visible when the part is welded with the quarter panel, but hey, I want them to look/be perfect from start

Except dual exhaust cutout, is there other differences between a 55 and 56 rear apron?

I used a rear valance from autocraft and had to work a bit on it to make it fit on the bottom (too straigt and not bended a bit like the fenders) Also the pressings are not exact the same.
Waterholes where not there but that was nothing to make troubles about.
I prefer Wolf his parts.
