Hey, that is one of the things im trying to do, i actually talked to an autobody place, and they said that it would cost around 300bucks depending on how you want it to look.

hope this helps. later

o or you can order a bondoed frame for 189 bucks from lovelylowrider.com

my friends dad fiberglassed a tank on my frame ( girls beach cruiser ) and he welded skirts...fiberglass was free...skirts were 30

i get 12 x 24?? sheets...i think the measurements are something like that... anyways, i get it for like 6 bucks a sheet at ace hardware... its like 22 guage..

300 bucks is to much for me, i would rather buy the sheet metal and have my cousin do it, i might check out ace though to see what they have. what kind of metal do you use?

Just go to home depot or whatever and get a big sheet of 22gauge steel sheet metal, its kind of hard to cut with sheers tho, but thats what im using

22 GAUGE FOR ME TOO....

 

[lancecst]

I bought 16 guage sheet metal from napa. I paid $22 for a 3 foot by 5 foot piece. That is enough to do a bunch of bikes so you could go in with a couple of people or save it for another project. The metal is used for car floor boards so it is nice and strong and easier to weld than the 22 guage.

i used 16g

 

[NorCalLux]

i prefer 22 guage i used 16 before its really thin

 

[Spankz]
