You seem to have a tool for everything. I liked your specialized panel beating chair.  |
Sorry for the delay in answering. Politics
When you cut out a fender, you have a LONG weld that has to be planished out and straightened. By the time you figured out the area of the weld vs. the area of the dent it would have been the same. It is actually easier to simply fix what is there. We only cut out a panel when it is severely dented or missing (like scraped down a wall
)
Over the years we have made tools for just about everything. The office chair made a lot of people laugh, but it really works well to lean back on and do the panel work. I use it all the time (I just "borrow" it from Thomas
)
