Anyone work at metal fabricators?
New truck arrives next week, need to get a replacement side panel made up for the o/s. Have not got the original, so would suggest I supply the n/s then to reverse make the new panel (if I got the right phrase!!)
I'll get it painted, just need someone to make up the replacement, will pay the going rate etc as have to put it thru the books

metal, not a big guage, want to make sure it has the indentations so would image it would need to be pressed, but I'm no expert
I'll drill the appropriate wholes and provide the n/s one as the template.

Isn't there a coachworkers name on the body, I think it would be quite expensive to make a replacement, especially as they would have to do the opposite hand and it won't be a direct copy.
I would have thought they would have spares available.
