Re: 1948 Chevy / S10
I made the roll pan today and also fit the drivers splash apron. I have to bolt them to the running boards and the bed yet. I also want to finish the edges on them also. So soon it will be the tranny tunnel.

Re: 1948 Chevy / S10
Gday Shannon, just jaw dropping work there as usual!
One thing though… I'm not so sure how stoked Bill is going to be about his new blue NBA adorned 'taxi cab' bubble on his roof!! (tried to drop the referred image in here but have no idea on how to!) Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device

Re: 1948 Chevy / S10
bjcaldwe, Thank you. I is getting there.
Well today I was working on the transmission tunnel. I made a fixture so that I could figure out the clearances and make the template. Then when I used the slip rolls I could use it to see if it was right. I only have to weld up the front flange on it. I love making the recessed panels. I am going to do custom inner wheel wells like the floor. I am also going to make a set for my panel truck like that also. Shannon

Re: 1948 Chevy / S10
yeah that would look really dope if it stayed uncovered. I def love the look of it. I love the work. However, I did a square/flat tranny hump. Came in handy as I made a little console on it to hold change flashlights, screwdrivers or whatever crap I have in my pockets. Still need to make some cup holders though. Can't have my girl sitting with my drink all the time. anyway you should know by now to just upload your play by play on your fab work, so everyone can stop drooling and start imitating your work LOL.

Re: 1948 Chevy / S10
Kabwe, Thank you
Chevette, Thank you. I used my offset dies. I have a 1/8" and a 3/16" one that I made. The bead roller I made has 24" of depth. Sometimes on a big panel I have had the reverse the dies top to bottom to be able to do it all. I lay everything out and try it in the bead roller with no pressure if I think I might have a problem. Yes you have the do the paneling before you do the slip roll work. It does flatten it out a bit but still looks great and stiffens it up. I do not have a slip roller either or at least yet so that is why I made the fixture so I could figure out the clearances and knew how much I had the jack the slip roll to. You will be fine doing it , just take your time and think things out. 99 to Life, Thank you. I think it will look great uncovered also. He is still going to have his glove box to keep junk in though. I have a console in mine and I agree I need to put cup holder in it also. I get tired of driving with a cup between my legs! I should do a video of it but then I would miss out on all the great comments.HAHA Chevette, here are the dies I have and a shot of the bead roller

Re: 1948 Chevy / S10
oldman3, Thank you. Most of it will be covered up BUT the transmission tunnel will be finished like the rest of the outside of the truck because he loves the look of it. I wish I would have done my panel like that. All my friends keep telling me that I will be redoing the floor in it before too long. Not a chance, Well... Haha

Re: 1948 Chevy / S10
Daze57, Mine too, I like to be the looker. One better is trying to make a straight line and the cranker is moving the beadroller all over the place. Just the nature of pushing the crank down then pulling it up. That is another reason mine is powered. Now I can only blame myself!

Re: 1948 Chevy / S10
jordabennett, Thank you. Glad you like it. I do love doing them.
I put the caddy tail lights in yesterday. My buddy liked them so he had me put them in. The first pictures is a little trick I cam up with for hole sawing sheet metal. The pilot bit always makes the hole larger and the hole saw moves around. It really does it when doing it on a curved part. I first drill the 1/4" hole then take a 5/16" nut and take a 1/4" rod and line everything up on the plain that you want to drill on. Then tack the nut to the sheet metal. On this one it had a big space so I sheared a little piece of metal and tack it in too. It works great and the hole saw stays put. I made the light buckets out of 3 1/2" tube. The first side is done , now the second side after I get more welding gas. I am going to make a paper template so they will be the same and plasma cut the fender because now I know where they need to be. Shannon
