How many hours into that firewall? That's beautiful.

any more pics of the hammerform process? truck is looking good!

anything particular? not that much hammer forming going on in that piece. On the centre section I stump shrunk the edges and used the e-wheel to planish it , then welded it in.
The beads were done with the bead roller... [S Pre-stretched the bead areas on the e-wheel, but with 7/8" or so wide beads, still a whole bunch of distortion. The folded edges that meet the kick panels were beat into submission with hammer and dolly...

oh yea, the hole for the column was hammer formed. Bolted a plywood mould to the panel and worked the metal slowly around the edge.

[dutch]

nope... not the same dutch. Also ,I don`t see the need of lead on a panel like that where you can reach everything with hammer & dolly [S

Thanks for the comments. I`m pretty happy with how it turned out.
