Default Re: '36 floor pans?

I made bucks out of plywood to fabricate pans for my 51 Mercury. They barely held up well enough to get through the process for one floor. I think Bradley had steel forms made to pound them out but that requires a fab shop with some good equipment to fabricate stuff like that. There not so much dies as they are guides for hand repousse or basically beating them out with lots of different shaped swaging tools. I find it harder to get the deep draw 1008 cold rolled steel to do the job these days.
