I got it done today. I still have to grind down all the welds and paint it, but functionally it is really to go!!! I already did a small piece today and it worked great. It took about four hours to do it. I got a piece of 16ga to work really well in it. I was aiming for working with 18ga. Let me know what you think.

BTW, I spent a grand total of $15 on it. LOL

 

nice job matt you'll be whipping out body panels easy now
edit: smoothing body panels

 

That is pretty sweet. The only thing Ive ever managed to do with one of those is smash my fangers!

 

i like, and you can't beat the price, it'll probably cost you $15 in gas to drive somewhere and buy a brand new one somewhere.

 

I looked at new ones, and they are around $250 for one this size. And I would bet that mine has better welds and thicker tubing. LOL

Yeah, I am gonna be doing a gas tank this weekend. I will post up some pics of it when I get it shaped.

 

what the hell is it? lol

 

^^^ You use it when you are shaping metal into things like motorcycle fenders and gas tanks. The sheet of metal gets pressed between the two rollers and allows you to smooth out the metal after hammering it into the rought shape.

 

ahh, i see. sweetness!

 

can you say product placement?

 

mint dude, nice work!
