lot of work.........a keen eye....luckily i can buy new all my panels for my tr6....that type of metalwork is hard work but also really satisfying.

Your preparation for the fold-over (around 13:10-25) is very interesting, a great idea.

Не тривиальная работа, это тебе не профильную трубу в порог приварить)) Работа мастера. Рад, что сын принимает участие в ремонте. Спасибо.

[@slgclassiccars4098]

Большое спасибо за ваш комментарий :-)

[@tomthompson7400]

always a joy to watch. What gauge of steel are you using for the skin ,,, it actually didnt look that bad to start with , but not pretty when you peeled the old skin from the frame.

[@slgclassiccars4098]

I used 1mm thick steel. The original sheet metal had been very badly repaired, and there was almost 1cm of putty...

At 13:50, what kind of clamps are these? They look very helpful for this type of work, would like to buy a few! As always, awesome work!
