I did do a version with the full flanged radiused corners and they turned out ok...  but I didn't want to make the forms, I didn't think they were necessary, and it would be completely hidden by the fabric anyways so I skipped them. Using my 1" cold rolled square stock again, I set up and made the bends.   And here it is all bent up.  Edited by Scratch - 29 Aug. 2022 at 10:42am |

It was about this time that I realized that maybe those radiused flanges were there to help keep the corners from cutting through the fabric, so I figured I'd better keep them in.... So I made another one with the radiused flanges and I'm much happier now. I'll do the other 5 that I need the same way. And here it is primed, painted and patinated.  I looked online for different images of these pans and I couldn't find any with the 3 large holes that I have on mine. There are also some sheet metal screw clips in mine that I don't know if they're correct or not, but I figured I'd leave them in since I'm pretty sure they are original. I know that my 46 has some early and some late features so maybe these seat pans are some leftovers. |

Also... I do like shiny painted hardware, on shiny painted vehicles, but I think on rusty, crusty vehicles, the bolts need to match so I'm still continuing with my "bolt reconditioning project" by grinding off the markings and using a modelers paintbrush to dab on some gun blue. They look even better when they're fully dry.   Even the backs of the bolts.   Edited by Scratch - 29 Aug. 2022 at 10:40am |

Inspired by Otto's tailgate. I decided to put the 4 Wheel Drive logo on my tailgate. I distressed mine a bit more than he did though...
 I also added some "vintage" lettering to my sides:   |

I know this is an old thread but I was just looking something up from it and realized I never posted any completed pics of this project. I went with the patina look so it honestly doesn't look much different that it did when I brought it home, but the body is solid, and the engine compartment looks nice. I also haven't gotten glass for it yet, but I have a good friend that manages a glass company and is going to install glass for two of my jeeps this summer so I'll wait for him.
Anyways, here are some completed pics.    |

They are General Super All Grip 7.00-15LT. One of my GPW’s came with 4 of them on it already, I found the fifth one down at my gun range holding down tarps. I don’t think they make them anymore.
