Hi folks, I have to make a rear rollpan for my '46 Chevy panel truck because nobody in the entire country makes one. I found a sheetmetal guy here that can make the top to bottom bend for me then I'm going to have to go to the hammers, dollies and some cuts for the curve at the ends. It's not that drastic of a curve so it should be pretty easy. I'll just weld it and the cuts in then grind and fill as needed. Now I was thinking of using 18 ga cold rolled metal for this but he told me to use 20 ga. galvinized to make it easier on me with the hammer work. To paint it I just need to sand it rough and clean with viniger and the paint will stick.
Now I'm no metal worker and I'm not sure if the 20 ga. is strong enough or if I should use the cold rolled or galvinized. I will be mounting my tail lights and a lic. plate bucket in the pan also.
Let me know what you folks think about this.
Thanks a bunch.
