I noticed a couple of sheet metal/panel replacement threads, and remembered someone recently asking if a shrinker/stretcher is a good tool to have
In a nutshell YES, a shrinker/ stretcher is a good tool to have if you are doing a rustorations etc.. On my 911 I cut part of the door jambs off to allow access for rust repair, Then I needed to recreate part of the door jamb to support the glass quarters I was hanging on the car.. this pic show the top and bottom part of the door jamb, I have to recreate the bottom half of the door jamb... Attached image(s)
