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.
