I made mine from scratch out of 18 guage. i made a forming tool that fits in a 20 ton press(overkill) out of 2" tubing and a piece of angle iron. after hearing storys about buying patch panels an rebending them I thought i would give it a try. I had to do a bit if hammer and dolly work to blend to the slight bend at the door post. It was pretty easy really.
