Title: Blank metal control panels?
Post by: creatine28 on May 07, 2003, 06:25:14 pm

Anyone know where to buy Blank metal controls panel that will fit on a Centipede/Dig dug Cab?   I was think of trying  to make them, but I dont have the right tools to bend the Metal.  Maybe someone has some ideas?

Why don't you pay a visit to your local auto body repair shop? If they are nice, have the time and are cost effective, I'm sure they could do a good job. They must have tons of scrap metal hanging around too.

You could also salvage a swiss cheesed one by spot welding a new piece of sheet metal onto the top of the panel over all the old holes. That would probably look just fine once painted and overlayed.
