Thanks thats good to know. But my dad has all the stuff here at my house to do it. But hees not much of a sheetmetal guy more of a chassis and motor and trans builder. Thats why i was wondering if i could get some tips on how to do it.

But if worse need i may have to take you up on your offer lol
Thanks again

Ron, the guy that helps me do them has been doing old school body and sheet metal work for 30 years. He just uses a hammer and dolly to shape them where they need it. I love to watch him work....

Some of it he shaped first and some of it he shaped while he was welding. That's the beauty of experience...

When you get into it, ask away...

[NuttinSpecial]

Every one on here whos made the metal ones sya they cant charge less than $600 for the work and time it takes so they dont sell em, and there is a guy sellin fiberglass ones. I was gonna buy one from him there $225 but half the ppl say they fit good jalf the ppl say they fit like crap so im not gonna risk it
