Re: Sheet Metal Door Panels
if you have access to a sheet metal brake, you can make them look decent.
i you are planning on screwing, ziptie, or liquid nail a piece of rusty metal on, please re think things.
wolfe has a set of panels that are nice for ready made panels.
they are pricey if you work with metal, but if you arent familiar with metal working, its best to buy the prefabs.
