Things at the shop are often fun, with rivets and a drill begin silliness and in this case ugliness. "Wanna make a roll pan today?" I messaged Andrew, "Hells yes" he responded.
Here's what we started out with. '84 Cressida, rotten as fawk and missing a bumper.
After some hammering and cutting we had cleaned the area to install the ugly pan. Thanks to me for the horrible ideas, and thanks to Andrew for not questioning them.
Cutting, drilling and rivoting began. Fridge doors are useful metal, save your old fridge skins!!!!!
As you can tell by my face, it started out ugly....
....and continued to get ugly.
Well fuck it, it's on there, it's painted, let's go test this shit.
And test we did!
Andrew is a wicked photographer, just check this shit out!

Sure you could pull the seat belts through the floor, and a crack around the control arm was waiting to explode, but it seemed to hold up to all the abuse I beat it with. […]
