Bluezzs Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 A good piece of sheet metal a welder and a good hammer are they way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-ManQ45 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I just got through replacing half my firewall and battery tray/inner fender area on my 280ZXT. I had to fab parts because the donor car I got mine from was a 'bit' rusty too. I would suggest getting a bead roller, as I had to use mine to make the stiffening beads in some of the panel portions that I had to fab.

Snailed Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I just got through replacing half my firewall and battery tray/inner fender area on my 280ZXT.

A bead roller is quick and ea$y, but it's not that hard to just tap out beads with a hammer and punch and save yourself a bunch of money. Clamping two pieces of wood on the back to form a gap will help make it faster and straighter. Also consider pressing a round rod into the metal to make the bead and just shrinking the wrinkles out from around it with a tuck and hammer or heat.
