how hard is it really to make a rollpan?

Well as most of you know my car goes in for paint tomorrow for three weeks.

at the last minute i decided to do a rollpan before it went because boominx's pan was for sale. When it got here it was in awful shape and i had to cut it down into pieces and start essentially from the ranger pan it was made from. something i never would have planned on doing in just 3 days with a deadline like this.

However, i think i did it!

I have some pics of when i first got it, and a few pictures of the entire process.

if you want ot follow in my footsteps the only thing missing is the one thing boomin did that i was able to use- and that is cutting the pan into three pieces and bending it to get the contour and then glassing it together.

obviously that needed some work- all i was able to use was the middle section and that needed work too

it was snowing this morning.... i was using shop lights so the glass would set

front looks evil eh?

that camera is a great idea. cant wait to see it painted.

heh

well, it goes in tomorrow and neither can i


all my pics seem to be of the drivers side- the other side looks the same lol the lighting was just better over on the drivers

last thing-

boomin's pan cost me 125, the ranger pan its based off of is about $150 (so if you wanted to do it thats what you'd pay)

it would take an extra day to section it and get the curve so add that to what i say

the total cost for other supplies was about $75

total time was about 25 hours

thanks Mike and Tyler for helping out a ton (their time is included in that)

Awesome. And you say it goes in for paint tommorrow?

LOL the camera in the ducks eye is awesome. The pan looks great, glad to see you whipped it into shape.

yeah, it goes in for paint about 5 hours from now at this point. still have to go out and sand with some 220 grit and reprimer.

oh yeah, and its a LOON hartman

lol thats our state bird

LOON lol that's a funny word.

Looks freakin awesome Drew!

Man, no one can doubt your 'glass abilities now!

man that is awesome. i love tha camera in the ducks eye. But you could just buy a rollpan custom made from ExplorerUnderground.com for like 300...but yours looks great not trying to knock you. You have an awesome truck

umm, well i spend $225 first off. second the explorer underground one is just the metal pieces of the rollpan and you have to weld it together and do finish work on it which costs a lot more money, and third how many of those have you seen? i contacted Zach, i believe his name is, quite a long time ago and actually planned on going that route but he stopped responding to my pm's so i did this.

that is awesome dude, way to go. like the others, can't wait to see the paint. beware of the loon.

I dont really know what to say other than it looks great and I cant wait to see your truck after paint. It's all coming together now.

daumn
that looks sweet.
I can't wait for the final results.


I like the red tape every where. It gives it that " Eddie VanHalen " look.
