Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed
Steve-W, it's a tool that manually bends sheetmetal.
Google "sheet metal brake" and you know all about it ![]() Sure I know Prins Trucks, just got my parts from him... Two parts missing and one part wrong, send an email, no answer yet. But I'm sure he will solve this. I don't need it to be original, if it's good it's good! I am a Hot Rodder by life ![]() If I can make the parts, I make them, and also the car isn't going to be original ![]() I always say: If you drive 80 mph, you don't see it anyway!! On to todays business: Got the lower left cowl and a piece of the floor repaired, not in one day to be honest, it's pretty time consuming, you know that! Made the triangular piece of the inner cowl: Then I made the floor: Then on to the difficult part.... First I made a 2 mm thick plate for the hinge: Then bend and knocked the outside of the pocket (1,5 mm thick): Then the inner piece and bottom (1,5 mm thick: I bolted the fender on for reverence of the lower bolt, and made this bolt support out out 2 mm thick plate: The bolt support has a reinforcement above the bolt hole. Looks like I had thought about it.... ![]() ![]() At last I tacked the cowl cover back in place.... Next time is finish welding the cowl and grind everything a little smoother. And hope to get the driverside floorpiece ready. After that its only some small parts to be repaired. So Niels A., if you read this......I'm going pretty fast ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Oh, do I use too many pictures for you guys and girls???
