Hello,
I'm looking for a set of driver and passenger side kick plates for my 72 Pre-L.
I know they are available at Wilkinson, but looking to save a little $$$ for a good pair of used ones.
Thanks

Patrick, if you don't find and and you're reasonably handy, those little panels are absurdly easy to make from scrap aluminum sheet in your garage, if you have a pair of damaged ones for patterns. The plastic they're made from stock is not very strong. I made mine of titanium sheet (by accident- I bought the metal from a salvage yard thinking it was aluminum) and there's only one bend at the bottom. The sheet can be trimmed with heavy scissors. I don't even bolt them down- the carpet holds them in place. Painting them with textured paint from a rattle can makes a part very hard to tell from stock.
Thank you for that. I’m hands and can make them. If need be, I was going to use sheet metal. Although, aluminum hadn’t crossed my mind, but a great idea. The car I have doesn’t have them, so I’ll just cutout a cardboard pattern and trace it on the aluminum. Greatly appreciate the tip.
