whos made there own roll pans???

any advice and pics?? Thanks Nate

 

What kind of vehicle you talkin about? I've made a bunch of them for pick ups. I had the local sheet metal shop bend a bunch for me. I like to use the same radius on the side as the rest of the pan. Most pans just have flat sides. Heres one i just got done for a 38 Ford pick up.

Don`t know what type of car your looking for.So here is one I did for a Model A.

fitzee

 

I'm using the rear 12 inches of a 50 plymouth station wagon roof its got a perfect compound roll that drops a couple inches in the center that gives a look that is hard to beat out on a sand bag.
its not cheating to use factory parts, its how you use them!

 

The Ford Courier pickup has a rear roll pan easily adapted to A's & 32's.
I imagine it would work well on other cars.

 

it would help to know what car or truck you're puttin em on..

I used pieces cut from a couple '36 Plymouth rear fenders for the corners and a chunk of '60 Ford roof for the middle on mine.

'fabbed up the inner support out of 18 gauge sheet steel.

in this picture you can also see where I filled the holes where earlier I had put a pair of '62 Olds tail lights and recessed license plate.

 

Paul. How is the sanding and priming coming along? Bet it's making a mess in that new shop. haha!!!

I made this one out of 16g.

 

I have made them from the sides of a 73 to 79 Ford truck hood. I also did the 50 Plymouth wagon roof one too. And one from 6" truck exhaust pipe, split into thirds.

 

Check out oilpans from various engines, they usually have 3 to 5 pairs (left and right) compound curves that are great for things such as roll pans. Use the curves and span the center with similar guage sheet. I did a dash for a car utilizing an old oilpan that I found on the s**** pile at ElPolackos shop.

 

Hey Frank,
I'm out there every chance I get!
right now I'm thinking I have some rework to do, there is no way to get an even gap around the trunk opening, when I put the tail together I had no lid, I found this one only after I'd welded the body up..
I think the easiest way to fix it is to cut the gutter free of the body and space it off of the lid..
Will this car be done before I die?
Not if I keep changing things!

I reshaped the rearend of a 37 plymouth by making a wood frame of what i wanted, and then i hambered the metal around the wood frame until it fit perfectly. then i welded it to the car.
