I'd just like to clarify that in my photo, my thickness gauge would not clear the sheetmetal on the "pocket" piece at 14g. I think it's 12g sheetmetal.

I really like this idea and hadn't thought to make a wood form to hammer over. Thanks for sharing this.

It's true. Outside diameter is good metal. Unfortunately its where the complex bends are that's rusty. You can see the lines where I started to draw out my cuts, but I'd really prefer to buy two if I could, both sites are like this. I'm a little surprised that this isn't more of a documented issue for other folks too...maybe I got lucky. Not trying to hijack this thread though. Wanted to share this piece's thickness.

How about these pieces from the front wheel wells? Must be 12 gauge, and some of the thickest sheet metal I have yet encountered on my series 1. Anyone know of where to get these prefabbed, or an easy way to make them? I cant bend/form that thickness...
