Will do some shopping for appropriate hammer/s. I got some hammerin' to do!

I found it amusing that you folks are naming your hammers... I've got 3 sizes of ball pein, and 3 sizes of sledge hammers.. oh and a couple framing hammers and a new upholstery brad setting hammer..

Randy, I'll be living vicariously (sic?) through you on this phase of the project!

OH, ALMOST forgot... pictures please? I'm learning and need pics!

Well, Mike, you obviously didn't have to do much metal shaping on a fiberglass car!!
Now, for naming my hammers, I want one named Brutus for the big stuff, maybe one named Adele for powerful fine tuning and maybe a FiFi for dainty detailed work.

And what do you mean, "pictures please"??? Did you not see my previous posts???

I wasn't referring to this car! Most of the others were Cougars and Mustangs and I just never "got into" the body work side of cars.

The name Martin is what caught my attention. While I didn't use a lot of their tools, I knew sections of their catalogs by heart when it came to conveyors / shafting / bearings when I maintained incinerators.

And I always thank you for the pictures. I was just reminding you that I'm learning and am very interested in your project, and I wish to see how you get yourself out of this mess!

It's ok, Mike, I was just being ornery and giving you some crap!

I totally appreciate you interest and support in my project and if you're into praying, I could use a few of those, too!!! Will keep you guys posted on the progress complete with pics.
