Diy 440 MAGNUM pie tin.

[Tony Tee]

Made this myself, kinda.

Had a old pie tin, removed the old paint and hammered out the few dents it had. Then sanded and polished it. And applied a decal from ebay.
This might be a solution for others that have been waiting over 2 YEARS to buy a reproduction.

Any tricks to getting the decal to lay down flat on the cone shaped tin?

Unless the decal has been made to fit the cone shape you have to cut a wedge out of it and have a join.
That's what I had to do on the custom decal I made up for my poly. No way around it unless it's designed from the outset to fit. I put the join at the back so it's less visible.

A hair dryer, soapy water and a body filler spreader. But I also made a few cuts with a razor blade. And some patience. And the outer cone shape was easier than the inner portion, due to it being a bowl shaped compound curve. If I couldn't get it to lay down. I was going to paint it.

Long wait for Repos & from what I've seen, outrageously priced for a simple piece of stamped tin!
Very nice work you've done Tony Tee.
