hold up, you're letting this guy do more work?I expected alittle ripples but he definety rushed his tack welds. Hopefully he can hammer the welds to relax the metal back to minimize the Bondo, but we will see. Just sucks cause I bought the panels on sale before they discontinued them.
It's a shrinking hammer @pomonamissel
Well then I sold 50 0r 60 of those to body techs during my 38 years as a MAC Tool dealer. They all don't know what the shrinking hammer is for.never weld it up like that , its to flat not enough body lines to hold it . should have tacked abit and air blown to cool before the next weld way away from that one , thats alot of weld to deal with . and that hammer with the waffle pattern is a stretching head , it expands the metal surface not shrinks it , there is a wheel you can use to undo the damage by weld ups . it looks like a corrugated metal surface . it heats the panel up and relieves the warping . and remember mig welds are surface welds , very short on penetration , so make sure you don't grind it all away . could look at the rear side to make sure .
