To me, it looks like high-tech/high dollar equipment!! Hope it is highly profitable for you as it is a mutt needed business.

Re: CMD Body Panels
Have you ever watched the video of the guy that forms the sides the old school way over a thick steel backer pattern? One solid sheet with no cutouts and he hammers it around the backer shrinking and stretching as he goes and when he is done he has a super ridged perfect panel.

Now this is how us OLD guys did it!!! The problem is I need someone to make me that big mutha form for a 151!

Re: CMD Body Panels
Working on the print details of some of the parts that get spot welded into the dash. Should have some complete dash panels this week. Also will form up the first round of full side panels. Have some templates being lasered and need to do some checking before I have the stamp die made for the bottom corner radius piece.

Re: CMD Body Panels
Glad to see you're keeping us old farts in the pictorial loop ,great progress, hope you offer that bottom corner radius piece as a repair part eventually, some may not be in for a whole side panel replacement, just a thought.

Re: CMD Body Panels
Has any thought been given to offering a dash panel that has a ROPS-ready light switch opening as an option? it would be so much easier to plug in a new dash with the shifted opening already in place to accommodate the ROPS installation.
