custom sheet metal fabrication projects should always begin with a concept or an idea of what you built, and how you want to look, and this in itself can take days or even weeks, because it is best if your errors during this phase, we will not cost you money.
I do not want to make mistakes that waste metal, or a lot of time so that the first phase of this venture, take lots of measurements and create a lot of concepts and make them from cardboard, if necessary, but take your time here.
Once you have a solid concept, you can plan how many sheets you need to complete the project, and then twice, you can not go wrong with an extra sheet, now that you have metal, you can set your project on it, using a cardboard cut out of have made, trace around the outer edge after laying on the plate.
Once you are done you can cut out and start to make your turn, get the basic idea of bent metal, you can fine-tune it from there, bending over in some places and less in others, making bends sharper, or more rounds , adding the body line, or crown of the metal.
Once you have the basic idea of the bent sheet metal, you can finish things up a bit more and get ready to put it on your car, if you need two identical parts, you should make the second part now so you can just go to town and get the whole job done at one time.
is now time to put parts on your car, and it can be nerve racking, so make sure you do it right, take a perfect measure, it is part of the process that will make or break the entire project of this part bark that is absolutely out of your project, so take your time here.
