I bought this bent up door with the hope of repairing it and was able to save it.

Great job Matt, you can always tell how good a Body Tech is by the detail of his metal work!

And if your anything like myself you love the feeling and challenge of saving a damaged part!


Thanks
Mike

Great job Matt.

I try to save as much sheet metal as possible and have been able to bring some pieces back with remarkable luck. I think it helps that the meta is fairly thick and after 50 or more years still has a memory. Just did an M&S 19-A lower panel that I bought at an auction and some ***** parked on it. Came out great.

Nice job Matt. Yup, hammers, pry bar, blocks of wood the only thing I don't see is the piece of railroad track for radius bends.


Have gas all the time

Thanks guys. I like saving stuff that looks like it can not be saved. I do it a lot at work because the insurance companies do not want to pay for new parts.

I do have a 2 1/2 inch slice of railroad track. It comes in handy, also railroad spikes.
