Looks great. Did you hammerform the rounded lip over a wood form and then shrink it?
What shrinker stretcher do you have?

 

[cornfield customs]

no i didnt hammer form it, i used my bead roller with a tipping die and rubber lower die. then stretched the upper flange to give it the convex curve.

i have an old shrinker/ stretcher name unknown, and a cheapo set from hf

say what

Once again the corn man puts out some cool panels.[cl
Is your die serrated to make the interesting pattern to the beads on that panel??
have fun
Tom

 

[cornfield customs]

no again it is just a standard tipping die up top and rubber wheel on the bottom. the rubber wheel allows you cross lines with out messing up the original

 

[acourtjester]

Sorry maybe I asked the wrong question[S

I understand the rubber die bottom. It is the rope pattern the die make not the diamond pattern with lines crossing each other.
have fun

i think that is just the pixilation of the photo, it doesnt look like that in person

 

[acourtjester]

Thanks for the reply.
Thinking back it was very fine detail but I asked anyway.[P
have fun

Had you done this in 24ga stainless, in 4-6 inch diamonds I would have you an order for the sheet in quanity, vintage travel trailer restores and custom kitchens can't find these done anywhere.

Nice work , i'm thinking it would make a great looking tool box for my 64 , but i guess it would not be very water tight :

 

[cornfield customs]

frenchy,

i could roll that out on any material and in any size grid pattern to suite your needs. just let me know the details and i can get you a quote.

scuba,

the box can be made more water tight if you are interested in one, i could weld a panel under the louvers, or use weld bond adhesive and put a piece of aluminum under it to keep it from rusting. i can make it any size and design. louvers or some designs rolled into it, ie. flames, tool outlines, or a logo.

 

[frenchy]

I sent a PM cornfield, let me know if it didn't get thru[S

 

[cornfield customs]

here is the notch cover i mentioned in a previous post for the same chevy truck and half of the visor louvered.
