Making panels

[Pat h]

Hi
I'm trying to get my hands on some good quality panels for myntraxtor, it's a 78 996 q cab David brown.

It's difficult to source them.
I had a guy who said he could make them at 200 a pop! And I'd still have to weld and paint them aftwerards.
What sort of press machine is used to make these? It's 2mm mild steel, a typical side tractor panel with a window within, and bolted to the safety frame.
I'm just curious...... For now!
Thanks

A photo of what you need would help.
They are usually just a box or angle frame with a folded panel tacked to them.
They are as simple a panel as you will ever get but still a fair bit of work.
A sheet metal folder is the tool for making them.

Might not be the cheapest but he only sells good quality stuff.
