Re: Two Steps back. My high school chevy 1950 3100
16 guage is tough to bead roll but I have done it on my el cheapo deluxe bead roller that I added some stregnth to. if you don't have a bead roller you could hammer some beads into the sheet but sometimes that distorts the panel as the bead takes metal away from the general area to make the bead. you could also weld some stiffeners onto the under side of the panel but I would advise to shoot the area and the stiffeners with some weld through primer so the voids are not bare metal. these stiffeners could be similar to adding upside down angle iron or a half round part or they could be sheet bent like adding an angled cross member to the under side of the floor. like a C channel part where one side of the C is attached to the floor.
just some ideas
