Auto Rod Tech's metal shaping and fabrication thread

[Peter Mc Mahon]

Try doing something with the edge [fold it over, roll it etcl] to make it look finished and then sell them as wall art.

THose would be cool in places other than on a car. They'd be neat as wall "posters", or filler panels in drop ceilings.

A drop ceiling panel is a good idea, never would have thought of that one.

I kinda want to start framing them. I have ideas, but not enough time.
I also wanted to get the hang of bead rolling before I went to that step. Once I get about 20 or so in the office, I will probably make a bunch of frames on the weekend. I will have to adjust pricing if I frame them but I think it would also give them more of a completed feel.

Not to continue to derail your thread with non-car stuff, but incorporating a recessed "can" light into one of these metal panels would be cool.
On a 2'x4' wide drop ceiling panel, you could mount two small dim "can" lights, and form the shape of a car on the panel, making the lights look like headlights.

Hmmm.. that is something to think about. Or maybe some small Led lights on wall panels.
