Just like the title says, anybody fabricate their own floor pans?

I have some 20ga sheet metal that I want to fabricate into floor pans. I was thinking of making a mold and using a wooden dowel to press in some ridges.

If anybody has done this before and can shed some light as to how to make the molds, how deep to go, does the sheet metal overall size change...

Thanks
