MC Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Cut a cardboard pattern of the outside shape of the truck and then deduct about 1.5mm from it for the metal thickness. This will then be fairly close to the shape of the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixer1 Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 (edited) a long length of copper brake pipe can be bent to the internal shape, seen this used for making a pattern for roll cages... Edited May 13, 2010 by gixer1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
