Pat the bead doesn't look fun . I've seen so many people looking for fenders and thats the big question is if the bead is straight. I've been trying to figure out something like making a stamping die to help there. I can work on it at work and have some help there also from machine shop and tool & die.


Dave i know working at a stamping plant for Ford i see the new sheet metal coming in . It ranges from .031 to .034 and that is thin compared to the older cars. This new stuff is oil can city alot of times . I don't regret this being my hobby instead of for a living . My hat goes off to all the bodymen that still work this new stuff. I remember in the 60's my brother in law mudding a whole quarter to straighten it . My time in the 80's in the management i did get insurance to buy new parts not like then .


Denny looks like a glass of champaign bubbling for sure . There is alot of little ones .
