Bodywork - dolly, hamer, and torch - How to shrink ???
I am at the point of putting on the sheetmetal on the front end of my 46. I broke out my dads dollys and hamers, for the first time ever. I have not attempted body work before, but am somewhat familar with the process.
I am amazed what you can do with those tools and a little understanding. I have read some stuff, and have had great sucsess.
The only thing I have not tried, but need to, is shrinking an area. I have a couple flat areas that have a bow.
Can someone explain how this is done?
How do you determine where to start?
If it shrinks too much, can you hamer on dolly, and stretch it again? duh.
I have found a new favorite thing. I have straightened some nasty stuff, and its not that hard. It does take some time.
Thanks Jim
on small cars yes. but fat fender cars are pretty much the same in size and weight as the donor car. i found s10 brakes work great on fat fender and pickups. a deuce will just need manual brakes...
Time for brakes
