First off I do have this question in the Fab forum , but no takers so I thought I'd run it thru here and see if I get any usable ideas.
I bought a slice of 14 gauge (ouch sharp edges) to fit from my back door to the tailights for protection.
I thought it would be a bit more plyable. My first work with rolled steel. Is there a way to contour it to the body panel so it fits snug. It would have to be a back yard method. I had an idea of getting a couple pieces of 1" x 1" wood and set the steel on that and roll over it with the Jeep ? I figure I'll cut out around the flares and gas cap with a plasma cutter. I have a jigsaw , but from looks of the thickness it isn't going to cut it.
Any help would be Greatly appreciated. Yes I'm a rook so be gentle.
Thanks :compwork:
