Plus the fact the cabinet floors were all hacked up from years of modifications. I'll keep up the posts of the progress.

I don't have all the fancy rollers and benders either, wish I did though. I think I see them in my future though. So far everything I have made has been literally made by hand with a welder, cutting wheels and a nice straight, flat edge on my work bench.

Luckily Vlad, the curved part of the tank are in good shape. The lower side panels took the most abuse from the salt and junk they used on the roads during the Pennsylvania winters.

Mike Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 WilleyDog, have you heard of Eastwood Company.? They have videos of the many body tools, benders etc. etc. Of their creations. They show how to build floors or how to make sunken threads. So many things for the do it yourself people. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45063-lets-try-it-again/#findComment-332226 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it from me, if you can go bigger than you think you will need. Ten foot tall doors or more are a blessing as well. Good luck with the new builfing. Will it be a work shop or storage?

The one thing I did at my pops suggestion was a barn style roof. That shape gave me a loft with storage in the eaves and a 15 x 30 man space / work area.
