I posted this in TOOLS and FAB, with no response... anyway
I am going to pick up some Aluminum Diamond Plate to Fab some corners, rockers, a frame cover, and fender covers.
What tools are a must? I have a cutting wheel, grinder, and a bigass vice. How can I bend the plate w/o special tools?
What guage DP should I get if their is more than one option?
What is the best way to fasten? Rivets--what size, or bolts?
BTW I am going to paint this stuff black to match jeep, cause I don't want to build a death-ray reflector. Thanks
