    Model A Ford roll pan

     



    I've always loved the Model A Ford bodies but I have always wondered why Henry failed to make a rear roll pan? After a lot of thought I thought I could come up with something that could look semi normal and something that looks like it belongs. I had a free afternoon several months ago so I attempted to build one. Of coarse a friend saw it and had to have it so down the road it went. Made a few more since with the same results. I still don't have one but Im starting to get the hang on how to build them... What do you think?

    About an hour on each corner and a very large cool air hammer I built. Some patients, thick gloves, ear muffs and a little experience and know how. One is easy, the second one to match not so easy.

    First, I Love the Positive/Negative symbols!

    Second, Nice work on the details, that really finishes off the back of the car. I too wonder why Henry left it undone?!?!

    Well I dont know about ANYTHING? But I am getting better at the roll pans.
    The problem is finding the time to play. Think the next one will get welded on so it stays around for awhile!

    Thanks guys. Ive been doing so long its not a biggie amymore. Infact I have to check myself when some one comes in and want a simple bend in something. I usually make myself do it old school just to remember that not everyone has the tools I do. It also makes me appreciate the tools I do have.

    Honestly, IDK. Probabaly a fair amount. You can't tell me any other patch panel for a model a are cheap? I bet some of your buddies would have an idea where to start with a price. I'm sure guys that lack the skills to make one of these would pay to have one.

    I received a email yesterday from a guy who has a drop hammer and offered to sell me punched out corners... Don't ask who, I'm sworn to secrecy. This could be a game changer in the roll pan gig for me. He is sending samples so I can see if they will work or not. Ive built about a dozen of them so I know exactly what I need as far as time. If I can use these corners It could be enough profit in them to build them. I'm going to have to become a vendor here it looks like.
