Roll Pan Fabrication
I needed something to do for the rest of the week, while I waited for the fiberglass to set up on my reconfigured hood, so I went back on to a project that I started about 2 months ago. The roadster pickup looks pretty good from the sides and from the front, but something was definately lacking from the rear. I made up a pattern from heavy cardboard and had my local sheet metal shop make me up a rolled pan to go between the valances below the box. I just about fainted when he charged me $80 for a simple peice of rolled 14 gauge sheet. Then I came home and checked out the Brookville catalogue, and seen that they wanted over $200 for exactly the same thing. This made me feel much better. I thought that since I was going to need a place for the license plate, I might as well make up a frenched license plate cove, so I bent up some scrap #12 ga. that I had left over from something else. I fired up my mig last night, did a bunch of grinding tonite, and Voila!!!! Brookville eat your heart out. I have a neat looking rolled pan with a home for my license plate, for about $80 and 4 hours spare time labour.Old guy hot rodder
