I finally made enough progress to make an update.
Dies are done, now I’m finalizing the die fixtures. Had to make some upgrades, needed to add chrome shafts and linear bearings to keep it from binding when pressing them together.
Stamped a passenger side and it’s darn close to a used original. Gonna send off a pair to Hammertime to see what he thinks. He stepped up and cut one off his car for me to reverse engineer.
Have to set up the fixture to hold the drivers side dies and get one of that side stamped.
The next step is to hand trim and send them off to him.
After I thumbs up I will need to figure out the best efficient way of trimming them out. Anyway here are a few pics.
