Re: Dad's 1979 GMC Heavy Half Transformation

Today I decided to attempt to recreate one of the wood bed pieces. Of course I picked the most difficult piece to take the dive on. So, I had a scrap piece of 16ga sheetmetal, kind of rough, that I found in the barn last week; thought it would be a good piece to practice on. Before beginning, I measured the thickness of the original and it was pretty much 16ga - had to find the cleanest piece to measure.

Pictures:
1. Piece to be recreated laying on sheetmetal.
2. Traced piece laying on garage floor.
3. After metal brake, laying next to original piece (neighbor has one).
4. After rolling the bead.
