    Another Hammer Forming Tool

    With all of the changes I made to the Astro Van, moving the engine and cutting up the floor, I needed to "finish out" a few of the floor ribs while rebuilding the floor around the new engine position.
    This is a quick hammer form I built to reshape some sheet metal to match the existing floor ribs.

    This gnarly old block was used to press the intial shape into the steel.

    After some work with a body dolly and a small ball pein hammer the shape is there.

    Here is the back side of the new shape as well as the initial "test piece" shown on the right.

    See next post.
