I need to build some new running boards for the Dodge, and got a price from a sheet metal shop to make the four bends per side. :eek: A little over $100.


So I broke down and spent $98.00 and about three days building this to make them myself. It can bend up to 52 inches wide.

I like the way you think Dozer....nice work.

Thanks everyone, it is a project I should have tackled a long time ago. I bend up the new running boards out of 16 gauge and I had a tough time bending them, but they turned out great. I will post them up in the Fast Four thread.
 
Looks like a good design. The running boards came out great. I'd like to come up with a finger brake that is easy to make.

Thanks Bob, I hear ya on the finger brake. To do the ends of my running boards, I removed the top clamp down piece, then cut a length of 1/4 x 4" flat the right length and just clamped it in place on the bed for the bends.
