I used this kit from ebay and welded a short piece of tubbing and bought a piece of 3/4" nylon for amazon. done. you can use a belt sander to change or reshape the nylon.

Reminds of the old British cars whose aluminum panels were hammered formed on hard oak molds. But this is more amazing!

Are you still building or selling panels? I need a drivers side floor for a 1968 fj40... thanks

I used a cheap Harbor freight air hammer and made a Nylon tip for the driver.
It worked great,

I am sure I am not the only one that would like to know more! My ownership hammer forming of metal looks more like stepped on beer cans!
