Default Tech Week! Homemade beadroller dies for 51' Shoebox

I bought a 51' Shoebox at last year,nice chop but the floors were completely rotten.The 49'-50' have a different style floors and there are a good quality floor pans for them for sale.But i havent find any good quality pans for 51' with reasonable price.Those pans are simple to fabricate and i have a HF based beadroller.So...
HF beadroller is a decent tool,after you have done some reinforcements:



I do metalwork for living,mostly welding etc.But i have to admit that i am an amateur with lathe.
But i've done some bungs for my shovelhead etc,i know how to do simple stuff with lathe.So i decided to do my own dies for the beadroller.



Here is a pic of piece of original floor pan with the die i made:



And here is what my shoebox's floors look like after fabbing and welding the pans:



If anyone is interested of these dies,i am willing to share the blueprints and they are absolutely free.
