well the tool man knows more then the tech , lol .
How many do you need?who told you that ? its a surface stretcher , how is that shrink metal . i have them , and it f...up the surface so bad there is no way to fix it nice , the metal is warped and needs to be put back in line not beat up . every panel gets stretched when it goes through the dies of the press , now you weld on it , it warps not stretches . some shrinkage along the weld , but no need for that aggressive hammer head . believe it or not you heat the metal then wet rag it to shrink metal , buts after you've worked it all out , so you can deal with the full areas . just how i've done it for years , tot by my father , he was a true metal man he never needed bondo .

All of them. Except for my Fargo, need sledge hammer to move the metal.How many do you need? View attachment 1715604158
Sure beats laying on the floor. I have no regrets building my rotisserie,and bolting it to my hoist. Makes a difficult task easy.Honestly I might tackle the passenger side myself this winter, figure I can't do any worse than what was done. At least I can flip her over on her side now to clean up the under belly.
J par. I was also thinking of full quarters. I wanted to keep as much original metal as possible. Driver side was worst than the passenger side.

Yes it was very obvious that the original metal was much thicker. But again to have those ultra true body lines.But with the half off sale on quarter skins at AMD I couldn't pass those savings up.
My car is definitely not gonna be a show car nor do I want one. My plan is to stuff a modern drive train in it and drive the **** out of it. lol.
LOL and just for conversation's sake isn't it structurally sound now just the way it is all welded up like that? Definitely not a show car LOL... Come on now we all want a straight vehicle. Or we just buy a nasty rust bucket and toss them motor in it and drive it.. you could have done a modern drivetrain in it and left it just the way it was and it wouldn't have fallen apart.. at least no more than it already was lol...Just want the car to be structurally sound.
