Thanks to Bruce Stone I have some sheet metal to work with. My plan is as follows:
* Plan A: Use a Port-a-power to push as much of the metal back in to shape and hammer and dolly from there. I have at least one line on an affordable body shop to do the finish work after I rough it in. * Plan B: Push some metal back and cut and weld in parts from the lot that Bruce secured for me. * Plan C: Push the fronts back in as close as I can get and flare the rear with QRS panels and Duz fastners.  |
